I have a 1988 Force 85hp outboard. Before I replaced the control cables and control box, along with a new ignition switch, I could crank the motor. Just purchased the motor a couple of months ago. Control cables were no good that came with the motor, so I bought new cables and replaced the above items. NOW the ignition switch will not turn over the motor, switch has power. Motor WILL turn over if I jump the solenoid but it is in gear. I cannot get it out of gear, even when I remove the control cables from the motor.Will the motor being in gear prevent the switch from working? The prop used to turn freely and would start in neutral. How can I get the motor out of gear? Also, how can I put a new tilt cylinder sleeve back on? The old one, I just unwrapped from around the tilt cylinder. Thanks SY
