My Atomic A4 reverse failed to move the sailboat backwards yesterday for the first time and I am wondering whether I need to adjust the reverse clutch, however I noticed the drive shaft does rotate counter clockwise when the gearbox is in reverse which in my mind says to me the prop must be turning . Is it possible for the prop shaft to turn but slip when throttle is added due to incorrectly adjusted reverse clutch?
Or is it possible for a propeller to drive the boat forward just fine but become loose in reverse?
When I select reverse I can no longer feel the propeller engaging as I did before and the gear lever just moves smoothly to the full reverse position .
