[QUOTE="airdawg11, post: 304676, member: 8656"] I have a 1990 mercury 25 hp tiller steer that was on a boat I just bought. I took her out for her maiden voyage and it starts up fine. But when I put it in reverse it revs up quickly and shift abruptly. BTW the motor shifts into gear by twisting the throttle one way or the other. When I twist the throttle to put it in forward it doesnt shift into gear immediatly and revs up very quickly, then sometimes if shifts into gear abruptly. I shut it down after that because I didnt want to mess anything up. I dont know if there is something wrong with the shift linkage in the handle or what. I am unsure if something is broken or just out of time. If anyone has any experience with this, it would help greatly. Thanks, Aaron [/QUOTE]
