My Evinrude DI from 2004, E250FPLSRA has a problem.
Shifiting into forward or backward is easy but back from those gears into neutral is almost impossible with the engine running. It takes a lot of energie and I'm afraid to brake things. When the engine is not running shifting in and out of gears is very easy.

Put in a new cable and new shift lever, but no solution.

Read in the manual about the "Shift Interrupt Switch" but if this switch or circuit fails the EMM activates the Check Engine light. And that does not happen.

Could it be that the RPM's at idle are to high? Read 600 when the engine is warm but that's an analoge meter, so not exact. Can I put those RPM's down a little? Have the software version 1.2.1.5 and the cable.

Thanks in advance for all ideas and answers.
