Hey everyone, I need some help. Yesterday I put my 1991 four winns 3.0L HO sterndrive omc cobra in the water and it would not start. After troubleshooting for a while I realized that it was because the shifter was not completely in neutral. I had to jiggle it like crazy to get it into neutral. It finally started but was very difficult to shift into forward or reverse. I believed that it probably was the shifter box or maybe corrosion on the shifter cable. However, when I took the boat out of the water to flush the engine, there was a loud clicking sound coming from the bottom of the outdrive. Are these two things correlated? Could it be a bad shift shaft in the outdrive? Please help, I would like to go boating a few more times before the season is over. Thanks to all>
