so my chick decides to drive the boat. I was in the bow and she decides to rev the engine and put it into drive (forward)..
the boat jerked hard and she immediatly turned off the engine.
After I started the engine I noticed that I wasnt able to put the boat into neutral or reverse (it was stuck on forward)...
I pulled hard on the lever to try to put it in neutral or reverse, but it wont not go into neutral or reverse...
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

That may have been an expensive mistake.

So, your chick decided to drive the boat? http://www.***boat.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif
Could be (hopefully) something as simple as a broken cable or a part in the control box... What kind of unit?

Cone-clutches do not like being shifted at high RPMs.

Pulling really hard usually breaks the cable as well as what ever else is broken.;)
Most likely your clutch cone assembly is welded to your drive upper drive shaft. You will probably need to open it up and replace a couple of parts to make it work again.

I agree, something will have to be fixed. I think something happened when she put it in gear at high RPM. :)

This has worked for me before. You have to really put some pressure on it.

Had the boat checked out, and the whole upper unit is shot!
but there is something good that will come out of this.
Since I have to rebuilt the drive, I might as well build up the drive to
handle more HP.
I purchased the whipple that was on sale here for my 496HO and I'm going to be building the drive to handle it in the new few weeks and install the blower.
I'll keep you guys posted on how it turns out..

Yah....like you needed an excuse for more HP. Keep that chick around and you will be justifying a skater with twin turbines. :D

No comment on banging the sister or friend (she might be checking the boards)
If she breaks anything else I'll try to put in the Ilmor 700 in there next..
