Hi,

At 50% of shifting out of forword gear (Bravo I drive maybe same age like the boat 1988) it´s not posible to shift, i have to pull very hard and try 3-4 times till i have it out. There is no noise at any time
I have a 1 1/2 year old lower cable and just changed the long cable because of this problem. Foreword in gear and reverse in and out of gear is absolutly no problem. The other 50% out off forword gear is also no problem.
I think it could not be an adjustment problem when it´s only by shifting out of gear.

Does anybody had this problem before ?

I´m thankfull for any help

It may be the detent ball is worn or failed. It is part of the shift linkage under the rear cover. Its easy to inspect drain oil and remove cover.

Thanks MOBILMERCMAN and daredevil

Mobilemercman, is it repairable without pulling the drive when it´s that what you mean ? When the Ball could be bad could that part where the ball is working together be also bad ?
Daradevil, I know Eich am See it´s about 30 Km down the Rhein an about 45 Km on street. Is it this Firm ? There is now first name at the website

Schön !!!!

Habe mir schon immer einen Kontakt in USA gewünscht.
Die Frachtkosten sind halt meistens sehr hoch zum Beispiel
Propeller von B Blades 225,-USD + Zoll + 19% Mehrwertsteuer

Waren gerade drüben, LA - Las Vegas - Lake Havasu City - Desert Storm Pokerrun ( zugeschaut und Augen rausgefallen)
Das war ein bleibendes Erlebnis.
Wie könnten wir in Kontakt kommen nehme an nicht übers Forum oder ?

The detent ball may be the problem I have seen the ball come out and randomly bind the shift linkage. The shift forks could be grooved from miss adjustment making shifting difficult. That would entail removing the top cap as well and a few special tools.
As far as adjustment goes the cables have an exact way to set them up with specific tools. If it is properly set up no adjustment is necassary.

Maybe i can open the housing on thursday this week, i hope it´s the smaller thing but it´s an older drive so the risk is high that i have to change all parts, i will see.
I´ll stay in touch

Thanks for answering

Hi,

The ball is ok. nothing looks worn.
But there are the 2 disc where a + and - where the +I should be directly over ( or Under) the -I . On the upper i can see the + sign on the lower is nothing to see.
It looks like an missadjustment that maybe could result in shiftingproblems.
I don´t have the spezial tools and don´t have the time at the moment . I will bring it to an Repairshop.

Thanks

Hans
