Hi all, this is my first post as I've just joined - so thanks in advance
I have an Alpha 1 I/O Mercruiser (circa 1994) with a Mercruiser (Quicksilver) Remote Control 88150A27. The problem is, I can no longer push the Neutral Button to disengage the drive when starting up.
I have taken the button off and sprayed inside with WD40 - no luck. I took the unit out on the weekend (left all the cables attached) put penetrating oil down the shaft - still no luck. I opened the back, and all looks well lubed and I could not visually see any loose parts, metal filings or anything (so, I'm thinking the whole unit does not need to be replaced) . The small shaft which the button pushes, seems to move in and out a little, so doesn't appear to be ceased.. I put everything back together again, but still no luck.. I'm at a loss to diagnose/repair the issue.
IF any one here has experienced this or knows how to fix it, I would appreciate any info
Thanks in advance
