Hello
I also have encountered the same problem but I have only adjusted the coller one notch as it was a little too tight with adjusting it two notches I have adjusted the adjusting cable shackle both in the forward and backward positions to try to fine tune the presure on the shifter but this did not help the boat will still go forward into drive but growls loudly,when I apply pressure on the shifter this sound disappears and the gearbox sounds quiet like it should.Prior to the adjustment this noise started while I was on my vacation motoring through a weedy area in the Kinston area I got tangled in weeds and I slowed the enging revs while in forward and put the boat in reverse and again into forward to remove the weeds tangled on the prop shaft this cleared the weeds but this was when I first encountered this growling noise when I put the boat in forward and give it some throdle (I dove over the side with a mask on and found nothing fowling the prop or the shaft) I had to drive the boat another 20 miles or so with a bungee coard on the shifter arm to get the full benifit of the drive.I am about 150 miles from my home port and stuck with this bungee coard solution can any one offer any solutions or ideas?
