The last two times I had my boat out it didn't always shift into forward gear.
The throttle always changed but it wouldn't go into gear and I'd have to bring the shifter back to neutral and try several more times before it would shift into forward. Sometimes it would shift normally. Shifting into reverse is always crisp and smooth.
The Control is the original Quicksilver Commander 3000 Classic Panel Mount; the engine is a 3 liter Mercruiser with Alpha 1, Gen II (?) outdrive.
Where do I start? Is there a cable length I can adjust?
I bought the boat new 14 years ago and it probably has 2000 hours on it. I had it for 5 years before adding an hour meter, which now reads 1700 hours. The engine was replaced 3 years ago, but I think they used all of the original cables and accessories when it was installed.
