Good Afternoon,
I recently bought a 2006 Glastron gx 185. It has the 4.3 GL with volvo penta SX-M outdrive. I just replaced the exhaust and ujoint bellows and took the boat out to test everything and when leaving the dock, I had trouble getting forward to engage. It would only rev the motor, not actually move. It would go in reverse just fine though. After moving it back and forth it finally worked and we went out. About an hour later I started the boat to head home and could not get it to move forward. Reverse still worked perfect. Finally got it after an hour of just cycling the throttle back and forth and got home.
Any idea what could be causing this? All help is appreciated!
Thank you
