[QUOTE="Seth, post: 289639, member: 1022"] The reverse gate on my Etec seems to have excessive side to side play. Sometimes when I am going forward and want to go back to neutral, it will bind up on me and prevent me from going back to neutral. Most times I can just move it forward and then back a few times and "jiggle" it free and I can go back to reverse. Sometimes I have to just kill the motor, trim it up and reach back with a screw driver or small hammer and tap the reverse gate so that it is centered up with the jet nozzle. It will work for a little again but then works it's way off to the side and I have to tap it straight again. Any idea if I need to replace a bushing or some kind of "spacer" to fix this? I never had a problem with it for the first couple years that I owned it. I will try to remember to snap a picture and post it up of the lower unit so you can see for yourself if anything looks out of wack. [/QUOTE]
