Re: Stus-List Not shifting fwd to reverse Have you tried disconnecting the
cable at the gearbox and shifting into gear using only your hands? Generally
gearboxes (other than mechanical boxes on A4s or Paragon boxes) will snick in
and out of gear with very little effort. If the cable is antique(as in the
original cable for the boat) go ahead and buy a new one, same length as the old
one before it breaks or the gear shift on the pedestal breaks. Since the
cables use a solid rod inside the cable housing, wear will occur wherever the
cable makes a bend. It is undetectable to the eye and it will make the gearbox
increasingly harder to put in gear. If the boat won’t engage in either forward
or reverse, I’ll put my money on the cable or the cable holder inside the
pedestal shifter as the offending part.My Landfall 35 has a shift mechanism at
the pedestal that Edson stopped making in the 80’s with no replacement parts.
Same Hurth V drive on the 3HM Yanmar. Keeping the gear shifter functional saves
me from a huge pedestal refit job.Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic1983 35

race in the regatta. New year..same regatta. We won the regatta but couldn't
sail home. Wouldn't shift into gear to leave docks. Shift cables are moving,
v-drive is filled with oil. What do I check next? Has been slow to shift into
gear lately. Will take all suggestions. 81 38 landfall with v-drive
