Over the weekend I was running

Over the weekend I was running my 170 I/O and hitting some big rollers ! The RPMs went up and I lost prop. Checked the shifter cable and it seems to operate. Just no F or R. could a shaft or gear be broke?
 
"You can check the shift shaft

"You can check the shift shaft operation by inspection at the top of the lower unit is. If that works, put it in forward and spin the prop backwards; if you feel the dogs lock up, maybe the hub spun out of the prop. If the dogs don't lock up, pull the gear lube drain plug...if the lube looks like antiseize, time for a replacement outdrive."
