Well, my hats off to all of you.
I am currently having a victory beer.

I removed the shifter, moved the linkage inside the t-case with a screw driver, it moved easily. I started the truck, and let out on the clutch, and it moved!! Evidently the shifter was just bound between gears?? Well anyway it seems to be fixed.

Thanks so much for all the advice, there needs to be a few more people around like you all. If any of you ever have outboard troubles, look me up at www.bowfishusa.com under Boatman. I think I owe you!!!

Now its time for the game!

Thanks again,
Pat
