Apha 1 Gen 2 Reverse problem

[rick24]

I recently had a new lower shift cable installed on my boat because it didn't always shift into reverse it would just ratchet . I am still having this problem with the new cable . If I disconnect the cable and push on it foward gear will engage no problem . When I pull on the cable all the way reverse will not engage all the way it will still ratchet both directions. I can push the lower shift shaft slightly with my finger and it will go into reverse all the way. What can cause this problem? Can something cause the cable to not have enough travel ? Could the lower shift shaft be slightly twisted or bent ?

Thanks Rick

The shaft could be bent, or you have some excess slop in the system. Email tech@sterndrive.cc and ask for the shift document. That will walk you through how to check everything.
