- 36" Marine Trader Sundeck
I'm having a problem with my Marine Trader 36' starboard transmission. The transmission shifts fine when cool. This past weekend we were pulling into a crowded anchorage after a 5 hour cruise. Tried to shift to neutral but the shift handle would not move (panic!). The admiral tried to shift from the lower station, and after a struggle, she finally got it in neutral. Once anchored we tried to shift, but the lever would not move.
Next morning all was OK. Shifted fine. Fluid full. Removed cable. Shifted easily by hand. Checked cable adjustment - seems on the money.
Returned home the next day and had the same problem.
Could this be something simple I'm missing? or am in for a rebuild? Any suggestions on who to use if I need to have it rebuilt? We're located in New Jersey.
Thanks!
