[QUOTE="crankbait09, post: 267141, member: 7396"] As mentioned above, I have a 1966 Evinrude Fastwin outboard motor, 18hp Fastwin. Maybe I am not doing something right BUT let's say I have the engine off and I am fishing like I am supposed to be doing. When I am ready to move on to a new spot, I try and push the directional lever in to the neutral position so I can start the motor without it flying forward or reverse at a Mach 10 speed. There are times that when I try and move that lever, it is very hard. More times than not, I have to hit it with my hand to get it to move. I have tried to place the throttle handle in the start/shift position but it doesnt seem to make a difference. What am I missing? Am I not doing something correct? Once in a blue moon , it will slide in and out of forward/neutral/reverse very smoothly. Which makes me think something isn't right. Can anyone offer any advice on how to fix this or is there something I should be doing that I'm not, which would avoid all this? [/QUOTE]
