No problem. If I am mistaken in what I say I can take the correction.
But, I am not sure about the rubber hubs in my alum. prop. I do not
use them much. I'll have to look. But on my comp props that I use on
the local river due to the river depth in spots. I got them for $30 a
piece. Disposable at that cost.
http://www.midwestpropeller.com/3bladecomprops.html there is no rubber
at all. So I am not sure what happen to my lower unit when that rock
got stuck. This requires further investigation as there was no damage
to the propeller.

Hi,

I am new to boating and screwed up my lower unit.
I think I stripped the gears because at one position the prop will rotate
freely while in gear (forward).
I removed the 5 bolts below the anticavitation plate and the lower unit
has dropped an inch but is being held by the shifting linkage rod.
Am I looking for trouble or can I remove the lower unit easily.
I think the shifting rod can be freed up from under the carburator(s)
Would I then slide the whole rod out?
Would I mess up the shifting setup?
I have all winter to work on this and so far it has been interesting,
Thanks for the responses in advance,
