[QUOTE="Tenner, post: 474756, member: 23079"] I have a mid 90s 200hp Mercury on a 2072 fisher. When the motor is off I can shift from N to F no problem. When the motor is at idle in N it will go into reverse (my last boat would creep Forward). It’s very stiff to go from N to F when the boat is idling. Once I’m in F it is smooth. Just that initial shift. I have done all the adjustments I can at the gate, but I’m thinking my bushings are worn out. In N the gate will flop around a little bit. It’s not stiff. Will this cause the stiff shifting? I’m thinking that the water is lifting the gate a little at idle and then I am fighting the water to shift forward. I was going to take the gate off and go run it to see if it was still stiff to eliminate anything issue in the the control box. Any other ideas? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
