Awhile back I took my boat out and was having issues starting it, lots of cranking. The controls have never felt incredibly smooth but this time something seemed to be snagging and I forced and broke them.
Assuming the controls were at fault, I replaced the controls with a working unit and installed the cables in the same positions as the old unit. However now I realize something is wrong with the linkage or the motor because the control lever will only go about half way forward in neutral AND in gear. I can't see anything wrong with the linkages but I dont really know what to look for either.
Can anyone tell me possible causes of this problem? Thanks in advance.
