Bravo 1 Stuck In Gear. Help !
 

I was idling in a shallow channel when outdrive struck some sort of object. After that, shifter stuck in forward. I have not been able to get in neutral. It's a 89 baja 250 sport ES, Big Bloock Chevy with Bravo I.

Thanks

I would pull it to see if the shifter fork is still attached correctly... Doesn't take buy about a half hour to remove and inspect

hopefully its that simple

could have sheared the upper gearset shaft

keep your fingers crossed

Pull the back cap and see if things are intact..

check shift cable behind bell housing where drive mounts and make sure its tight and not full of rust

With the motor off (of course) grab the prop. I suspect it will not move either direction. Apply a little force to the prop and you will probably hear a noise in the upper if you can get it to break free. You will have to try both directions. I t will take some force though, everthing is in a bind in the upper. Probably a broken thrust washer or gear floor.
