I have a 50hp 3cyl Merc with Quick Silver controls.When I shift from neutral to forward or reverse there is a scraping noise coming fron the box and it is hard to move.It used to be very smooth and easy to shift.I have the tension screw backed out all the way.I have tried to lubricate inside the box but I can't get to it.I can can the handle off but that's as far as can get.Could someone shed some light on what might be wrong and what I can do to fix it?<br />Thanks,<br />DWB in Atoka

Re: Merc control box

you need to change your shift cable it probaly kinked on you , or you might have a crack in your control gears inside that connects your shift cable . Good Luck getting the controls open and when you do dont lose the little removable bushing .
