I had it become very difficult to shift in/out of gear with my Yanmar 2
years ago, I was freaking out that I'd need to rebuild the
transmission. Put a new cable on it, now I can shift with my pinkie finger.

That is way too much pressure, and a cable will probably solve the
problem. One way to tell for sure is to go down into the bilge and
move the lever by hand. It really isn't that hard, and in fact, when
I had an issue with the part at the wheel that broke, I got down into
the starboard locker on our 27 MKIII and flipped it back & forth by hand.
By checking it there, at least you've eliminated one of the potential
causes.
Just my $.02 worth,

Subject: Stus-List Pedestal gear shift handle
On mine, the mechanic took an aluminum rod and machined it to fit the
short 2in lever that stood out from the pedestal. Haven't been to the
boat in a while, and not taken the rod out, but I thought it had a
groove cut in the end, about a half inch from the end or so, with an
o-ring placed in it.
Next time to the boat, I'll try to remember to take a look. Didn't
cost much to make it.

Not those Joel. Of course the only original one I have is the throttle,
starboard side. Don't know what the gear shift is suppose to look
like. It
appears the handle you show rotates back and forward. On mine, it
actually
slides up/down in a slot, same action as the throttle. Right now I have a
1/2" bolt, tapered the threads slightly and slid it in the hole, cut the
head off the bolt and slid the bilge handle over the bolt for
leverage. It
was meant to be temporary...been a few year now. BTW, the engine is
atomic
4 with reduction drive. I'll get better pictures this weekend.
