Hard shifting on Mercuriser Bravo 3

[cobaltcliff]

I have a 2002 Cobalt 226 with a 6.2 MPI and a Bravo 3 outdrive. The boat has only 200 hours on it and I bought it brand new. The problem I'm having is that it some times is very hard to shift from N to Foward. I had my boat in for service a couple of weeks ago and they checked out the cables. They were all fine. They said it could be in the outdrive. Is this a big job? Is this a common problem?
Thank You

Howdy,

Well, it could be. If it's not in the cables or throttle/shift controls, It could be in the drive. Then it will be a "big deal"
