I had a near mishap today while leaving the dock, shifting from reverse to neutral the bolt in my gear shift lever snapped suddenly leaving the boat stuck in reverse. Luckily I didn't have a lot of momentum and there was no damage to the boat. I found the bolt snapped off in the lever. Since it happened to me, it could happen to you. I'm assuming the bolt was original and so at least 45 years old.
