Help! Has my Yanmar transmission been destroyed?

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 |
