"Hi all, I'm looking for some information as to what the problem could be with my saildrive. I can only get 1 to 3 knots going forward, however it is working fine in reverse, although that's not much cop. You can hear the MD21B engine tone go up to power but the saildrive seems to slip. The top speed should be 15 knots! Directly before this happened there was a cooling leak which the engine was stopped and the leak fixed. A friend started the engine in gear, to which the boat bounded towards me on the tow path and hit the side of a canal. When I got back onboard to continue journey, I was only getting 1 knot.

Any help on this would be much appreciated
Many thanks"
