So I went to leave the island Sat night and my moter would not go into gear. Today I recalled that I did have the idle adjust up when I put it into gear earlier that day. It did clunk into gear as it was reved up to 1000 to 1200 I would say. I didnt think much of it more than "woops im an idiot and dont do that again." So it ends up being a horrible night.
I tried it again the next day and still nothing. The linkage seems to move far enough, but there is clearly strain on it as it slightly cocks at the connection to the shift lever in the engine (maybe I need a picture).
Anyways did search on here and didnt come up with anything. Its clearly not a spun prop as I just bought it. I have a manual, but not sure what I need to do to figure out how to repair it. It doesnt grind or anything. Im starting to think the motor is cursed as every time I go out something breaks.
Thanks.
