Put in water for first time - runs beautifully - BUT:

Can't go forward or reverse. Revs when put into forward or reverse, but no movement. Does not appear to be broken shift cable. Any suggestions??

Thanks for ANY help

Is this a new purchase with water test or no water test?
Did it ever operate correctly?
How did you determine its not a shift cable?
Need a bit more information to give you an accurate answer.
