Hi All :
I was on my way back
Hi All :
I was on my way back into the dock at about half throtle when it sounded like the boat (1985 21" trophy Hardtop)went into neutral. The motor reved and that was the end of the prop turning. No forward No reverse. I'm going to pull the outdrive this weekend and see what I can find . The shifter cables seem to be working but the prop and the prop shaft while in gear spin freely .Where sould I start looking? Water pump drive shaft . I did get stuck in the mud on an unusualy low tide a few days befor this happend. Over heated a little bit but seemed to clear up. Also with out a belt on the front of the motor it overheats very fast ( alternator froze and burned off the belt about a month ago) should the pump in the outdrive still circulate enough water to keep the temp down. I've heard that the OMC outdrive is the worst but it's all I got
Thakyou for any help
