Sundancer 300 with 5.0's paired...

Sundancer 300 with 5.0's paired to B3's. After running her for several hours I'm having difficulty getting the starboard side to engage reverse, moving the throttle/shift lever further past idle will occasionally cause it to engage, obviously not ideal when docking.  Cone clutch was replaced 4 years ago by a qualified mechanic.  Any ideas on what the issue may be? Suggestions on proving something out?

Sounds like a shifting cable issue; some restriction. I had to remove the top shroud on the shifters to lubricate for smoother movement.

I had a similar issue. Shift cables solved the issue...great to get the shift bellows refreshed too. Be sure to shift quickly at the helm, slow shifting can cause some issues getting into gear around the dock
