Hey I have and older 40 marathon 2 stork outboard.
Model numbr is W40ML 360349.
I recently hit a rock while trying to get out of some swell while out fishing. After hitting the rock I lost all gearing. No forward or reverse. It revs in both however. When turned off and put into fwd. If I spin the prop clockwise it clicks every half rotation. Inside the lower unit it looks like the splines are clicking off each other. I have been told that this is simply the propellor bushing (the sheer pin in smaller models).
When in gear. I can click it clockwise while in fwd. And cannot move it anti clockwise. If that helps at all.
does this sound like the case to any of you? or could it be something bigger.
Cheers.
matt
