can anyone help me, I have a 67 merc, 50 HP, I serviced the lower unit and now it only stays in gear, I have turned the little do-hicky that lines up with the shift shaft, but I cannot get "N" or "Rev".  I start it up and the prop turns for foward.  I can disconnect the cable linkage and it shifts fine, but when connected, it would get stuck and will not shift.  Any help out there?     ??? ??? ???


THANKS.

    Hi all. I normally fish the reservoir itself but have never tried below the dam. First off, are you allowed to fish the spillway/outlet and if so, can you get there from Gross Dam Rd?

    Good bye to one of my favorite lakes. Memories of catching big cats with friends, nice perch, even meeting Slayer for the first time ever, which is a memory of it's own. It will be gone! :( The city will close and drain the lake for repairs. Noooo! Whats up with all these lakes needing repairs...
