" My problem was that my lower
" My problem was that my lower unit was in neutral at all times. With the prop off the shaft, it would spin freely in either direction. Got the lower unit off, took half way apart and for some reason it went back into forward before I got to remove the shaft. Still took everything apart. Did not remove clutch dog from shaft though. Couldn't find anything wrong. Replaced the seals on the propeler shaft houseing and on the drive shaft bearing housing, as well as the o-rings on them due to water getting into the lower unit oil. Brought boat out on water and everything worked great for about 10-15 minutes. Then when I would get above 1/2 throttle in forward, it would just rev up and not increase speed. Up to 1/2 throttle forward, neutral and reverse works fine. Next step I guess is to bring my prop in and have that checked???
Thanks,
