[QUOTE="cwphoto, post: 366710, member: 14437"] I've got a 1985, Mercury two-stroke 9.8. A whopping five hours of run time. I'm not sure what has changed but I can no longer get the motor in reverse. The manual talks about not putting the motor in reverse unless the engine is running or damage may result. I don't really get the connection. I did replace the impeller recently, so that's the only connection I can make. I would think I would have had an problem right away though, and I did not. Seems to run and work just fine, and then just stopped. Any ideas on what to check for? I'm going to go study the linkage a little more closely, but thought I would ask as maybe I'm missing something obvious. Troy [/QUOTE]
