OMC Stringer sudden loss of reverse
Guys, I took my boat out Memorial day, she has an OMC Stringer 800 hydraulic shift. I had reverse when I back the boat up to leave the marina, cruised at 35mph (3500rpm) for about 25min in 60ish degree water, rolled into the next marina and went to engage reverse, it ground and wouldn't go in?

Forgot to mention, the engagement point on the shifter went way far back when I lost reverse. Like probably an inch past normal neutral. And I talking about you have to pull the shift lever all the way back past normal neutral into reverse territory to get it to shift out of drive. It shifts quickly and well into drive
