Hi all, I took my Wellcraft Eclipse 210 out today. Put boat in the water, started engine and it would not go into reverse or forward. It did have some issues a week ago due to a starter failure. The engine runs fine just won't shift. You can't get the shifter to go into reverse at all. It is hard to get it in forward but the shifter will go.
Took boat home, started it with the water muffs on and when you put in forward. the prop will just barely spin. With engine turned off and boat in gear, the prop is free spinning. Any Ideas??

Pull your out drive off, doesn't sound like shifting at all, u joints prob need greased anyways if not off last cpl yrs, , alpha needs to be in forward gear though to pull off, bravo neutral , if it's cable need off anyways
