We also have a Paragon transmission, since the motor is in the boat
backwards, it is really easy to work on. Unfortunately the water pump, belts
etc. are a different story since they are under the cockpit floor. It is
very easy to adjust the Paragon but since you cannot see into there I would
not recommend it. I once dropped a bolt in there among all the gears and
even with good access it was difficult to remove. Neutral is a very fickle
thing, unless the lever is in the perfect position the shaft will slowly
turn but it is not a problem unless there's a anchor line close by to get
wrapped around it. (don't ask how I found that out) We don't have a true
reverse, you have to hold the lever down to stay in reverse otherwise it
goes into neutral.
