Blew Reverse!!

[cfelton]

Glad you found the problem and its not in the lower unit. Them parts can run into some money quick!

It shifts into all gears manually,. I was just looking it up on a site they get $75 for new. Its a Shift Lever AY

I have a spare lower unit that I was going to use if need be, but when we drained the unit it was filled with saltwater!
O well it was a spare after all.

Hope we can get it tomorrow?? we shall see what happens.

I want to try out MY New prop

That stainless linkage lever where the shift interupt switch mounts too . . . is very very loose. (like a abu garcia 5500 handle that's caught 5000 fluke). Lower Unit will engage forward and reverse when shifted manually up and down, so I know the lower is good. But that linkage piece is so loose that you can have forward and nuetral . .. or reverse and neutral (and sometimes only neutral) when shifted from the control cables end of the linkage.

MJ - You're gonna need a new motor :) Start saving $50 a fluke trip. You've got two great powerheads, but some shiat saltwater mids and lowers. If you can locate a freshwater mid/lower (or a pair of them) you're going to be all set for the next 10 years. I call you tomorrow morning. I wonder if those powerheads will bolt up to a 200/225 Ficht mid and lower.

Good time to be watching E-bay and Craigslist instead of fishing.

if the east coast is like the gulf coast, the bite will be great about 3 days after the storm.

Yeah, the wind and waves have finally died down to almost nothing after about 4 weeks.
MJ, let me know if I can further brighten your day,
LOVE YA, MEAN IT!!!
