[OMC-Boats] Forward Clutch Won't Engage on Late-1967 3-wire Shifter

So once again I made the mistake of trusting someone else to ensure the ski
line was clear of the drive and once again got a harness cable wrapped
around the drive.  Only a small ding in the prop and a slight bend in the
shear pin (for which I had a spare and easily changed), but now my forward
clutch won't engage (reverse work's fine).  I have the late-1967 3-wire
set-up out of the shifter, but unfortunately I can't see any more than that
given the conditions.  (I should add I'm on the water so I don't not have
access to any manuals, limited tools, and its a bit too rocky to be poking
around very much.)  If anyone happens to see this and has any thoughts I can
try before giving up and paddling back in, I'd sure appreciate it.  Even
though I have a 3-wire, I've already tried Lee's 5-wire trick of shutting
down in neutral and backing in reverse; didn't work.  Thanks!
