ABSTRACT:
An improved shift assist mechanism for a marine propulsion transmission including a shift assist element that is pivotally supported and which defines a slot that receives a member of the linkage that connects the shift operator with the shift control element. Movement of the shift mechanism from either a forward drive position or a reverse drive condition effects pivotal movement of this element and this pivotal movement is employed to actuate a shift assist mechanism that reduces engine speed to assist in shifting.
