Newbie Help!, Prop won't turn when in the water

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.

I didn't know that MMercury still offered a 2 stroke in 2006, anyway....Does it work while launched? probably not. You might have a shift linkage broken or out of adjustment. What kind of a 'sound' does it make while this is going on?

Yup they had the Classic 2 stroke well up into the 2000s. My buddy has
a 50.

My question to the OP is "did you work on this before it broke" (drop
the foot)
It sounds like the coupler in the shifter is not connected.
The default position if the shift cam fell off is forward so the cam
is there or the shift bullet is jammed. If that is the case, it will
not shift into reverse.
With the dog at the limit of the spring, you are in forward. The cam
pushes it back to neutral and then reverse.
This is either a rotating cam or a vertical sloping cam. I think all
of the 75/90s use the rotating cam design. The 50 my buddy has uses
the vertical cam. My 75 used the rotating cam.

Of course there might be something buggered in the foot. You are going
to see a bearing carrier puller if that is true. (generally not fun).

Your expertise in these matters never ceases to amaze me. :-)

Welcome back.
