Look at OMC Cobra sterndrive shifting post dated 17 May 2002, and search OMC Cobra sterndrive.

Do you have all the files saved from this site? I can't access the links. Thanks for your help :)

No, try the site again later. This site covers most of the shifting problems. The outdrive has been out of production a few years. OMC had parts before they went bust. Do not know who has OEM parts now. It should have a red shift cable from engine to outdrive. If buying it should be cheap, and I would water test for 2 hours, lots of full throttle, check gear oil and engine compression. I am not a sterndrive fan, but if I was looking for older boat with sterndrive, I would look at Mercruiser Alpha 1 with a 350 GM V8, plenty of parts ,and mechanics that can keep it running.
