check linkage on engine under cowling on left side may be loose or hanging up. also check the bushing which centers the shift sahft in the adapter plate for wear.
if not could be the clutch dog on the forward gear, especially if your running big pitch.

any of the big pitch outboards i set up , i bypassed the neutral safety switch with an over ride momentary button. this way you can shut the engine off , shift in to gear then start in gear to avoid prematurely hand grendeing the unit.
i would say if you have no big amounts of metalic or material in the oil or its not burnt then you should be able to finish the seasdon.
