I just bought a used 1986 boat with a 4 cyl. engine and an OMC drive line. I can't seem to get it in neutral where the prop can freely be turned. The boat runs fine, but the prop will only turn in one direction. Can anybody help?

Re: Problems with outdrive

Have you run the boat in the water, or is this a driveway test? Could be a bum shift cable or trouble in the lower unit.

Re: Problems with outdrive

driveway test only. How hard is it to test the shift cable? Also, what could be wrong with the lower unit and how expensive would it be to fix it? Thanks!
