Your chandlery (Salty term for boat store - remember it well) carries detent
pins in the appropriate size. When you go to check it out, also remember to
bring your checkbook, you'll find lot's of other neat stuff.

I hope you used a muff to ensure enough cooling water actually reached the
engine.

No, that's not normal. There should be a good strong detent for neutral
(I've used the word 'detent' twice in the same note - 3 if you count this
one, but that would be cheating. Is that a record?) Take it in and get it
fixed. It could be dangerous if the engine slipped into or out of gear at
the wrong time.
Anyway, enjoy your boat as I'm sure you will.
