900 is too high, but not all of your problem. You can take the housing with the shift shaft o-ring/seal off look down inside the case. May see something. I think you may have a bent worn clutch dog pin and /or bent worn bell crank. Prop shaft will have to come out to get at these parts. May be a problem with the shifting shaft on the powerhead under the carbs.

Thanks. I have adjusted the idle to 600-650 rpm. I have adjusted the linkage screw on starboard and she is going into gear great now. The problem is I am a dumb ***. Alzheimer's and motors do not mix. While adjusting the idle, after all was fixed, I did not turn on the water to the motor. I caught it quick. But, not quick enough to burn out the new impeller. Time to start over.

Thanks for all of your help,
This is the best site if you want to work on your boat,
If you don't have alzheimer's,
Thanks again,
Dumb ***

While I think dumb is a little harsh, I would agree that boaters and mechanics are OUT THERE sometimes.
