Hi All,
Recently bought a Seamaster 23 with an Enfield Z drive. Having similar issue as above.
I can change from neutral to reverse but is very stiff, when I try to engage forward it is even more stiff and the engine stalls.
I have replaced the control cable as I was advised that this could be the issue. When replacing the cable I tried to change gears by hand with the lever on the outdrive but it was very stiff.
Could low oil level cause this? I am nervous about opening the level check screw as the boat is in the water.
Any ideas or advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I just need to get the boat shifting gears so that I can move it to a place where I can lift out and do a proper service.
Thanks in advance.
