Hello guys question. I have a 1973 Evinrude 115 hp. Boat has been sitting awhile but seems lubed up. Question is went to start it up runs fine shifts in forward ok but coming back to neutral is the problem it gets real hard will not go into reverse. Both cables are out of the hold down on motor all seems fine on motor. I can shift forward and reverse holding cable and rev it up. Seems like something in control. Please help. Thanks

It's probably wear in the control. If you take it apart and use your greatest imagination, you will see that it resembles two gears with only one geartooth on each. Those gearteeth wear and jam when they do.
