    Won't shift into gears. somethings seems stuck.

    I misunderstood your comment sorry. So you were saying the ESA only activates when taking it out of gears and into neutral? I think that's what you were saying. I'll try taking a video of the operation hopefully later on today.

    Ignore my ignorance here but I thought the boat only had just two gears(fwd & rev.) I don't remember if I mentioned it before this is my very first time with a boat so please don't judge lol. Anyways, this is what I experience last time on the lake: when I went from neutral to fwd I would...

    Now I see what you guys are talking about. I just bought the boat and this is my first one. I have to take the stern off again to replace the bellows, gaskets, bearing, etc so I will make sure the slits on the exhaust bellow is facing down. Thanks. I was starting to worry that I didn't install...

    I finally with you guys help was able to take the stern down and replaced that lower cable. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to also replace the other parts you've mentioned but that's going to be next.

I also notice the cable is showing signs of wear. I'll attached pics. I'm thinking the cable might be fried? Again, I get no play or...

    I had planned on taking the stern down today and I've read some of your past posts and others on how to do it so I hope I can pull this up. If it's ok, I'll send pics once I take it down and you can tell me if you see anything abnormal? Thanks again

    T I checked that dip stick and it's completely dry so you were on to something. Will I find gear oil at car part stores like AutoZone? And which oil do you recommend?

    I don't know why I didn't think of that. I'll check it today and report back what I find. But will the cable get stuck by having low or no gear oil in the Stern? Thanks

    Recently bought a 1989 Bayliner Capri 1750 with Ford OMC 2.3l. So, first time taking the boat to the lake it started right up and everything seemed fine except for the boat seemed to struggled going into gears at first but after forcibly pushing the controlling stick and playing with the trigger...
