any of u lot own a boat ? or just me

<< < (6/6)

laser_jock99:
Gear linkages? Cables? This little engine ain't even got a reverse gear when it works (you have to spin the entire thing round to go backwards!!).

Anyway- the lever (arrowed) on our Mercury auxillary engine won't shift between in-gear and neutral if anyone has got any ideas?

Budgie:
Well I dont own a boat but I'm involved in saving/assisting them & their passengers/owners/crew on a day-to-day basis as I'm in charge of one of the 4 watches in the Operations Room at the Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (MRCC) here in Stornoway.  :D

I do get to go out on the company vessel occasionally though!!  :wink:

my bet is on the selector shaft running down the inside of the leg
and alot has come on sincce volvo pentas  :lol:
we wont touch them no more too old, just a liability
i wasnt sayin it had cables, i was just stating the common causes for both remote and tiller controled engine's
and over both types it 9/10 times just need adjusting and isnt a mechanical problem

have a look half way down the engine just under the transom bracket and above the cavitation plate on either side for a oval rubber blanking plate
i cant remember what the select method is on brownbands, been a good 2 years since i last seen or touched 1
