Bravo 1 won’t go into reverse
so I removed back cover, seen that I need to look for the hole being out of shape. Two things the hole looks pretty good. Does the spring wear out? Oh can I shift this into reverse to if it moves?

Need more info as to what is going on.
Your saying with the motor running, you can go from neutral to forward and back to neutral, but it will not go in reverse?
The spring detent ball just provides a feel and hold for neutral, and would not have much issue with reverse.

First....thanks for replying!
thursday I drop in go through normal start up and hit the key and nothing. Thinking it’s in gear I went to move it and the shifter was tight. Push forward was normal operation tried 5o pull in reverse and could barely get past neutral. Went to local marine shop and was directed to detent. Got everything apart this morning and spring looks good. Was told the cover hole for detent can get oversized which causes it to stick. What I don’t is how long spring should be or how loose the detent in in the hole.

Going to need 2 people, one on the throttle and one at the slave solenoid. Put muffs on and have water supplied.
Leave key in OFF position, take and jump across the top terminals of the slave solenoid. When this happens the motor will crank, and having the person on the throttle applying pressure to move throttle into neutral. It should only take less then one rotation for it to go into neutral. Once in neutral, then you can try to start in your regular way.
Turn ignition ON, and if it will not crank, hold key to start and very slightly move the throttle a tad forward or reverse. Your not trying to change gears, just get the neutral safety switch where it will crank

I would like to thank all of you for the help.
I took the advice from a local marine service shop. That’s why I went the direction I did. So tomorrow I’ll put it back together.
alldodge.... this is a dual control setup . Do as stated just move the shifter for neutral to catch? Now is this because something got out wack? Or do I need a new slave solenoid?
guys I can’t help with ton of knowledge on boats, but I do work for whirlpool and can pass some discount savings on appliances. Just need name and email and I’ll send you a pass to look to buy.
ishould change my name Boss272.... lol
