Q1: Remote Shifter
Tried to open up but only went to just past 2000 with shifter.
Thought I had a spun prop, but in neutral, using throttle got full
revs.
Checked linkage, & was not getting distance with shifter. Back home
took remote apart, checked for wear & breakage - cam looked okay & did
not see anything abnormal. Put together & worked okay.
Anything I can do or replace?

Get rid of the outboard, and convert the boat to an inboard.

Q2: Gas Leak
Same trip (first of year) suddenly noticed gas film on water around
motor. Back on land, motor runs okay, & can't see any leak.
How can I check if it is carbs or intake that are leaking gas -
without first replacing?
tks, alp

If its not leaking badly, dont worry about it. I just let the
bilge-pump do its work.
