shifting into gear really hard

I have an 01 SAN and it seems like it has gotten alot harder to shift into gear. It is only when I first put it in gear, when its in gear it seems normal. I just put perfect pass on it and thought that may have been causing it so I tightened everything back up but it is still the same. Anyone know what this is??

are you sure the cable from the servo motor is free to move and is not getting caught on anything? how about when you close the hatch? (can you see to verify?)

Is the boat idling higher than it was before?

Its not getting caught on anything with the hatch up and it is not sticking up higher than the engine so I dont think it is hitting the hatch but I will check it out with the hatch closed. And it still idles the same as before.
