The engine died when it went into reverse (on the water) -- came to a HALT. The prop did not turn at all; wouldn't even wiggle. the engine wouldn't turn at all; wouldn't even wiggle. I hammered on the prop to try to free it - and finally got it going. made a horrible "squeek" and clearly was out of oil all teh way down to the bottom unit. Oh, yes; the dipstick? covered in rust, clearly has been out of oil for some time. Once prop was free to move, engine still would not move. however, moving the transmittion into forward/reverse, I could still move the prop, but it was a little hard to turn it. (still could turn it over) Removed outdrive, engine turns over no problem. John, if the drive is whole, you may get a good trade-in value for a reconditioned drive, with all appropriate upgrades, at: http://www.dougrussell.com/ I've had insured clients using them since 1988, with 100% sataisfaction. Oh oh.... Hmmmm - perhaps descretion is the better part of valor here. :) You lost me... Rob |
