Reverse

[Gary E.]

Has any one had a problem with reverse on a 1981 27' hunter ? Seems to not have enough power, but when the handle is in a "just right" position it kicks in and has plenty of power.

I did

Mine did the same thing. Needs adjustment of the shift lever on the trans. The procedure is in the Yanmar (I'm assuming you have an Yanmar)service manual.

Shift Cable

I had a problem with forward. It just wouldn't go all the way into gear - mad a hell of a racket and was generally very unhapy with the situation. Adjust the cable where it attaches to the engine block at the rear near the transmission - there is a 1/2 to 3/4" play. While you are at it remove the compass and spary some silicone spray into both the throttle and shift cables.
