[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 474822, member: 12995"] How high is the idle on the motor? If it's pushing too much water, it can make it difficult to move the gate. It sounds like you might need to make some more adjustments to cheat the gate forward a little at idle so it's not as tough to get past that notch. My boat is not here at the house right now so if I get a chance to go out today (weather permitting) I'll look at my neutral setting. If the gate moves fine without the motor running, it's most likely not a problem with the cable. I've had seized up cables that I was able to get WD40 down into to free them up but they were really locked up to begin with. Double check your cable to make sure there isn't a weak spot or cut somewhere on the outside that could absorb some of the energy while trying to shift. Here's a picture I found of my setting in neutral. Mine actually tends to creep backwards slightly while at idle in neutral. [/QUOTE]
