Yamaha 40HP throtle cable broke

[mmgathome]

Bad weekend for my skiff. On it's first run of the year, I found the throttle difficult to switch into gear... and unfortunately I applied so much pressure, the reverse cable (rod) brok inside the gear box (I also found the wires bent out where the reverse cable feeds into the motor). Now the boat's stuck in forward with a busted reverse and I'm hoping someone can help shed some light on how to fix this. So if anyone can help I would really appreciate the advice.
Best,
Mark

Replace throttle and shift cable and it should be ok.
