I have a 84 mercruiser 228 with an mc1 outdrive. Im having an issue where my sterndrive is not going into gear and being stuck inbetween gears. Here is a breakdown to what happens. When i go to move the throttle to drive it move the Shift cable only for about 1/2 turn then the throttle cable ingages for the rest. On the shift assembly on the motor the shift cable coming in and out both move, although i only see the neutral safety move when i go into reverse.The cable that goes to the sterndrive has an adjustment on it when i adjust it one way i can get reverse to lock when i adjust to the other way i can get forward to engage but there seems i can not find a happy medium. One marine mechanic came buy charged me 50.00 for about 20 minutes to tell me i have a bad throttle, before i go spend 350.00 on a throttle can someone help give me some more input. I can submit some pictures if you think it will help just let me know.
