Looking at a boat that has this motor on it. Few ? Is this the 2+2 model I have read negative comments about, if so are the comments warranted . Motor started alright but it took about 4 shifts of the gear shift before it ever engaged at the prop. No grinding. Then about 4th time trying it engaged and never had problem again. The guy that has it only has took it out couple times. He said it done the same thing with him. Is this likely a linkage issue at motor or some sort of shifter issue at throttle control. Going to lake trial it Saturday so all advise appreciated. Any idea of how much to repair for price negotiating?
thanks
