Here is the whole embarrassing story. A friend was at
the helm, we
were motoring down the channel at 2600 RPM. I have a 3
cylinder Yanmar
engine. I was dealing with the sheets. I asked my friend
to slow down.
He got confused between the transmission and the
throttle. Instead of
cutting back the throttle, he threw the transmission
from forward to
reverse! There was a terrible noise as you can imagine.
My friend
immediately realized that he had made a mistake and
shifted to
neutral. After that, the engine and transmission seemed
to behave
normally but now I am not as confident as I was. So what
do you think?
Will I need a new transmission? And what about the
folding prop? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
