This evening we were fishing when my partner said the gear shift (merc 75) was real stiff. I went back to check on it and besides being stiff to shift I had hardly any power. I had such little power I had to drop the winch stand level with the trailer to get it far enough on it. If anyone has a clue as to my problem please inform me. I am thinking its in my cables running from the gear shifts but would appreciate a mechanics opinion. Thanks.
