My port 800 sterndrive has the older hydroshift gearchange mechanism.
I do remember when testing before installation, you need to create oil pressure with an electric drill to see if it will operate.

First boat trial yesterday - port engine stalled - in gear. Was it a bu**er to get into neutral to restart!

So, Is this an impossible situation. Don't say update to the manual rod or scrap and replace because it now all works well and I live in UK where gas engine setup spares don't exist!
