I just got to the lakehouse we rented. Took the boat out for 5 min and I did a dive. From full throttle forward took off throttle and put in reverse then floored it in reverse. After that reverse stopped working, then when I parked the boat it was stuck in forward. I don't want to force it. Any advice? I'm a bit limited on tools!

Reverse metal piece.
Ok, so i looked more at the boat. And the trim piece that puts the boat in reverse broke off. I can manually put the boat in neutral and use it in forward, but I can not move out of forward. I was quoted 119 from the dealer. I was told it is part 271000947. Is this correct? To try to better describe the part it is the metal piece that the jet stream runs in to. Does anybody know the name? Thanks Also is the boat ok to use while this annoying problem is going on ?

called reverse gate. i guess you can use boat without it just don't plan on stopping quickly when docking. if you have a dealer close by purchase the part and put it on yourself.
what broke? the whole gate and it's gone or hanging from one side or the cable connector on the gate. Neutral is not an option if it's gone since "neutral" is when the reverse gate partially covers the jet stream.
look at that parts diagram in the above post and determine what is missing/broken.

yes, it is the reverse gate. I used the boat and it worked fine but I would have to manually put it in neutral by reaching my hand down there and moving it while someone else moved the lever to N. Neutral did still work fine. There are pieces hanging on both sides but the main piece that connects them is gone. Thanks for the help. It is $120, I will buy it and try to put it on. The reverse cable and everything else seems to be fine. I don't know why i had to manually move it in Neutral though. Is there maybe another problem I don't know about?
