I have the 3.0 penta. If the motor is running I can disengage the shift mechanism and run at idle with no problems. The problem comes if the motor gets flooded and I need to disengage and open the throttle wide open to get it started. 9 times out of 10 it will not disengage so the motor will not turn over and the gas flow keeps it flooded. IF I can get it to disengauge properly it will crank right up and I can reduce throttle quickly and get it started. Does this sound like an adjustment of the shifter or cable or maybe the shifter needs to be replaced? Most of the time it will start okay, but if it floods it can be a PITA to start. Thanks in advance if anybody can help. |

You don't say what year/how old or anything else about the boat. Given what we know, I'd say it's time for a mechanic anyway to fix whatever is making it hard to start, flood, etc., etc. |
