    1984 35hp Mercury, won't go in reverse

    I will have a better understanding after I take it out next time. I just caught the flu so I've been under the weather for a few days. I'm hoping it won't happen again.

    Lowrance fish finder interference

    I can't believe I caught the flu at the end of May after getting a flu shot, I've been off line for a few days. I think I might have a connection that may have been sheered or is just barely connected. The batteries are just a couple of years old so I doubt its that. I'm hoping I don't have to...

    Lowrance fish finder interference

    I have a Lowrance Elite FS 9, I've just used it a few times now. The problem that I'm having is that I'm powering it on the same three 36 volt set of batteries that is running my trolling motor. Sometimes when I increase or lower the power on my trolling motor it will turn the screen on or off...

    I may have to give that a try. The biggest challenge without reverse is docking.

    1984 35hp Mercury, won't go in reverse

    Lower unit and water pump haven't been changed recently. Someone else told me that it might need a cable adjustment. When I looked at it I couldn't figure out if they needed to be adjusted one way or another. Even when I did try to move them I really couldn't do much. Unless I was looking at the...

    1984 35hp Mercury, won't go in reverse

    I haven't been able to use reverse for the past three seasons. I took it out today for the first time in eight months. Not sure what happened however the reverse now works fine. I'm kind of worried that it will happen again. Anyone know what part could be causing this? I've heard that it could...

    1984 35hp Mercury, won't go in reverse

    This engine will go in reverse on land with the hose and works fine. For some reason, I can't get it to go in reverse when its in the water. And I'm having some difficulty getting the throttle to go in reverse when its in water. When it does it just revs up but won't engage. Anyone know how to...

    1984 35hp Mercury, won't go in reverse

    I think I found it? Is it the tutorial below? "This is how I do it in about 60 sec.: Turn the LU shift shaft by hand counter-clockwise until it stops, then with Vise Grips tight on the bottom of the shaft turn it a few more degrees CCW until it clicks into a stop, this should be neutral - check...

    1984 35hp Mercury, won't go in reverse

    I haven't removed the lower unit for a few years so that didn't do it. I took it off to replace the impeller and it ran fine for three seasons after. It started about a year ago. I ran it through last summer, it doesn't effect forward. It will fully function on the trailer with the hose, however...
