1985 sea ray has no neutral?

[diew]

I have a 85' sea ray 230 with mercruiser engine and outdrive. There seems to be no neutral on this boat. The throttle control does not pull out, but there is a little lever to pull up on. But when i pull up on this lever and try pushing the throttle forward, it still engages the prop.

What remote control version do you have?<br /><br />Mine has two functions beside the obvious:<br /><br />A button on the T-bar underside to unlock the lever from neutral and a button on the lever arm bottom to disengage the gear cable (only works when in neutral).<br /><br />So applying throttle in neutral takes both buttons to be activated.

i have 2 buttons on the side of the T-bar that control the up/down trim of the stern drive. There is also a lever on the underside of the T-bar that seems to unlock the throttle control from neutral like yours does.<br />But there are no other buttons that disengage the prop when putting the throttle forward.

Huh? Could you post a picture as I feel certain the feature is there, somehow.<br /><br /><br />Thinking about it, there was a version where you had to pull the lever horizontally outwards (as if you tried to pull it out from the box). Could this be one?
