Errant button pushing got it locked in forward; can’t figure out how to reset? Any help appreciated. Only conventional operation. Reset not explained or referred to in chintzy owner’s “manual”. Thanks for your help.

Here you go.
Thanks Ron; shoulda mentioned it will not go into neutral; after any power interruption, it starts up in forward. Conventional reset must be done from neutral. Was gonna use DCS; this is how I found out my TIU is not working!!! Can’t get it into neutral😳

Fixed, thanks, Ron & Bob!
FROM THE MTH PRODUCT MANUAL:
You can lock your engine into a direction (forward, neutral, or reverse) so that it will not change directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction you want (or into neutral to lock it into neutral), run it at a very slow crawl (as slowly as it will move without halting), and quickly but firmly tap the Horn button once followed by three quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately 1⁄2 second to lapse between each quick button press. Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has made the change. The engine will not change direction (including going into neutral) until you repeat the 1 horn, 3 bells code to return the engine to its normal condition, even if the engine is kept without power for extended periods of time.
