"I have an older model Honda.
"I have an older model Honda. The motor was running like a champ, then all of a sudden it lost fwd. thrust. It works fine in reverse, and actually went back into forward gear with thrust for a few seconds before it disengaged. It looks like the prop is moving in the fwd direction when put into gear but the engine will just rev up with no output from the prop. You can also hear something rattling in the lower unit. I was thinking it could be the shifting linkage but it goes into reverse just fine, any ideas? Is this going to be a big job to fix it?"
