Reverse only

[Pioneer_84]

I was having a good time boating and out of the blue the engine shut off. I was only rb2@gr5t 800rpm idling. The engine starts, revs and idles fine however will only engage in reverse. When placing the 260 merc motor and alpha one drive in the forward position the engine ****s off?

Probably the shift interrupter switch.

Ayuh! Probably cuz the lower shift cable is corroded and binding in it's housing.
