"I have a Yanmar 3GM30F recently re built, still hard to start when cold, easy start at the touch of the button when hot. Reading others comments on this site has helped.
Recently repacked the stern gland, not over tightened and shaft turns easily by hand.
Problem. Motor stalls or chokes when put in reverse, feels like its overloaded, no problem in forward gear, goes well.I intend to unpack the stern gland and put back as was to see if this caused the problem, any advice would be welcome. thanks Bob.}}"
