My friend recently bought a Cape Dory 25 D w/ 1QM Yanmar.
On the sea trial and one short motor after, the engine ran and shifted well.
The next time he needed to go out he wasn't able to shift it into gear. He had it towed to the next marina for transport to my marina.
He said it is a single lever shifter. He thinks he has to pull a knob out to shift into forward but it wouldn't go into gear. He was afraid of breaking it so didn't force it.
I hope to help him this weekend but I'm unfamiliar with a single lever throttle and shifter.
Hoping someone here could explain how it is supposed to work.
Many Thanks
