First time posting on here, new to boating
Took the boat out on the lake the other day, ran great. After an hours or so out there, we ended up getting into some shallows. Long story short the boat had hit the shallows, props pretty banged up. Fired the boat back up after the incident and put it in gear, and the prop would not spin. After trying this twice the boat would stall when it was placed into gear. After the boat was towed out and on the trailer i put the boat in gear and turned the prop clockwise and had a ratcheting noise, and resistance when turned C Clockwise. I drained the oil, found 2-3 small chunks of metal in the oil, and about enough shavings to cover half of a penny. Took the out drive cap off the top and the gears look good, but when I spin the prop, the shaft and gears do not
turn.
Any help is appreciated.
thank you in advance!
