Another newbie question. Purchased this boat and am finding that its nickle and dimming me away! Welcome to boating huh? So my latest is i cant get it to shift into reverse? Goes into forward OK and neutral OK. But its like the cable cant go "in" to the outdrive for reverse but does come out for forward and back to neutral. Is this just an adjustment? any ideas? I wouldn't think the cable is bad if it works in one direction. I also checked the prop by hand and it just spins freely in reverse.
