My sister in law was the last to use the boat and said it wouldn't go in forward or reverse when in the water. Her dad and I are now trying to diagnose the problem, on dry land, and could use some help. We put the boat in gear and turn the prop and can hear the gears turning in the outdrive, forward and reverse. Should we be able to turn the prop at this point? If I am in gear aren't I directly turning the engine at this point? I am not super man ya know. My sources so far tell me it is the prop or a rubber coupler at the engine/outdrive connection. I bought the repair manaul last night and can see no discussion of this rubber coupler from the engine to the outdrive. How do I get to this coupler? Remove the outdrive? Remove the engine? What is the connection from the engine to the outdrive? It looks like a direct shaft but the manual gives no details at this point. Please help. All the boat repair shops are full in my area and I have a house boat rented for next weekend. Thanks in advance. Tom Ruark i need help my prop wont spin during flushing. Even if i put into gear. it makes sounds put no prop movement. Any suggestions. I have a 2006 mercury 75 2 stroke engine. |
