Default Mercruiser i/o will not go into neutral

sorry guys..down with a cold for a few days. Thanks for all the
replies.

I have no physical difficulty putting it in and out of gear, the
process is actually quite smooth. Occasionally, I do hear the shift
interupter cut the engine for 1/2 second when I take it out of gear.
The engine speed is idled correctly in my opinion...in neutral-on land
it usually tach's at 1200-1500 rpm



Way too high. What engine? Idle in neutral, depending on engine, should
be close to 600 RPM if I recall correctly.
