Put pontoon in water last weekend and everything ran fine, went out this weekend and had trouble getting into forward.
Cables have not been on or off, nothing worked on recently. Shifter cable seems to move pivot bracket fine both forward and reverse but does not engage gear forward. Looking for most likely cause, hoping gear in lower unit is not stripped. Having trouble finding info on line.
