So my 2012 speedster 150 decided not to go into forward easily and once there, would not come back out. Found the problem to be a broken and wedged reverse hook spring (part # 17 in the attached diagram). I'll buy a replacement this week but its very unclear how this spring is supposed to be positioned. So if anyone could post a pic of this area showing the spring, that would be awesome. The 2nd pic I've posted is the broken spring and a "spare" nut I found floating around in the engine bay - going to be fun looking for where it came from!

The spring is in the space between the latch and reverse bucket mount. This is the best pic I have of it on hand at the moment.

Thanks - that gives me a clue. Looks like it seats into the notch at the end of the hook/latch. At this point I don't even know what a good spring looks like as half of mine is gone. I should be able to get one this week and I'll go from there. Thanks very much.

Something that seems so easy - not so. To get the spring seated properly, you need to remove the latch - which requires pressing out a pin but to do that you have to remove the reverse bucket and the forward/reverse bracket. And then according to the shop manual, reassemble using 4 types of Loctite. Oh - and BRP only sells the springs two at a time. But its done. Gone boating!
