-***Boat DOES NOT shift in to gear.
I have clear registration for everything, I posted this before and I didn’t have the title for the boat, I now have a CLEAR title for both the boat and the trailer. Boat doesn’t shift into gear, haven’t looked into it whatsoever. I’ve have a bunch of offers to separate the motor and sell for $500, but I don’t want to separate.
Any idea why it wont shift into gear? Do you think it’s linkage or a problem with the lower unit?
Im not sure but i do believe it engages into gear with an electrical actuator and I think its either fried of shorted or something
But right now it is stuck in forward which my boat friends have told me is the default when a problem with that actuator so that you can drive back to shore
It most likely is an easy fix I havent really dug into it at all and neither did the previous owner but all of my boat buddies have told me that it really should not take much
Only reason why im getting rid of it is because Im still in college and my parents are bugging me about it sitting in the driveway
throw me a pm if your serious
bump…
i would take trades on this as well…make an offer on cash or trade
is there anyway to shift it by hand with out the electrical portion?
still got this
it is stuck in forward which is the default when the actuator goes
Those engines don’t shift with an electrical actuator. It’s mechanical.
Could be any number of things, linkage, controls, the mechanism on the top end of the motor, etc…
1sik bmw was texting me about it but stopped responding…ill give everyone the deal i was giving him…300 gets this thing gone…come get it
and you also told me you wanted to come get it either that day or the next and stopped answering after that
come get it for 300…im sick of people telling me they will come get it tonight and then not respond to anything after that (cough cough)…
I will be around Sunday for anyone who wants to come get it
haha i just want the thing gone man
if you are still interested you have my number
ive had way to many flakers when the motor alone is worth the money

Hell, the trailer is worth at least a couple hundred.
