"Hello everyone.
Brand new here due to the fact I'm having problems with my outdrive. I have an 89 Bayliner Capri, 5.0L OMC engine, and an OMC Cobra outdrive. Was on the lake two weeks ago for the first time this season. Ran out about 1/4 mile and heard some awful noises from the rear then the boat quit moving. Put it in gear and I hear knocking noises from the outdrive and the prop won't turn. I know this is very vague but does this sound familiar to anyone? Am I in for an expensive repair or can these usually be overhauled at home reasonably? I will be removing the outdrive soon for a teardown so I can give more info later, just looking for an initial opinion. Also, do I need to make or buy a fixture to mount the outdrive on to make it easier to overhaul (like an engine stand)?
Keeping my fingers crossed that it's something not too expensive.
Thanks in advance!"
