Hello all. New to jet boats (and boats in general). Recently purchased a 2008 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger and took it out for the first time this past weekend. The boat ran great (outside of the bilge pump going out and almost sinking ?), but upon trailering the boat got stuck in reverse and would not go forward. I shifted back and forth a few times to see if it would get unstuck but nothing, still wanted to go backwards. We eventually roped it onto the trailer and got it home.
Once we got home, I had my wife shift back and forth and I noticed the reverse gate is stuck down. I can force it upwards with my hand but it will not go back up on its own when shifting back into neutral or forward. I’m guessing it’s something to do with the reverse cable? I can see the cable move a bit but it does not move the reverse gate at all. Any tips or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated!
