Shifting into gear?

[dento29]

HI all, took my boat out today...has a 200MR 89' engine.
I was going along nicely when all of a sudden the boat slows.
Engine runs fine, throttles o.k..nice and smooth just as soon as i push it into gear the revs go up but doesn't go into gear..forwards or backwards!

Shift cable? or some worse??

Many thanks Paul

O.k, but it doesn't click into gear like before, theres nothing, just the revs get higher like the shift cable has been disconnected from the engine?

Cheers
