I bought a boat that I knew had a problem. Boat is in very good shape, so I though I could fix issue. Tire it down and found the end of driveshaft was busted off. No damage to prop or shegg, so I don't know how this happened. I put a new driveshaft, check out gears etc and a new water pump. Now when I start it, I still get no water out of per hole and lower unit still will not advance into gear. The lower unit checks out on a pressure test.I assume that the driveshaft is not turning? I don't know what to look for next. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Drop lower unit and turn motor over by hand in a clockwise direction. If driveshaft turns you have some type of misalignment in lower unit. If driveshaft does not turn
you may have a powerhead with stripped splines.
