82 Glastron/Carlson C-537, 470 with pre aplpha outdirve.
When I put the boat in the water and put it in gear for the first time (forward and reverse). The drive is grinding going into gear. By the time it drops in, I am at throttle so the boat drop in gear and takes off.
Makes me look pretty stupid and I dont need any help with that.
Now here is the weird thing, once i run the boat a short distance down the lake, It will shift in and out of gear fine.

It's like to doesn't want to shift when cold but once warmed up, if shifts fine..

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you could let it warm up before you take off.But is the idle speedhigh when first started,and lower a short distance down the lake ? That could be the actual problem.
