Default reverse gear in 50hp motor doesnt work

I have a 25 hp Johnson sitting on the

fix a "won't stay in forward gear" problem. You might go to Iboats.com and
price out a gear set for the motor.

If you're very careful about using reverse, you may be able to switch
the forward & reverse gears, & turn the dog around, to get your 25 back
up & running. The bearing on the forward gear can often be pressed out
of it and pressed in to the reverse gear giving you a new lease on
"forward".
