Hello All,
When I brought my boat in from the mooring field last week I could get no forward power out of the gear box.
It seemed the forward gear was not engaging properly.
If I pushed the gear lever all the way forward and tried to increase throttle the engine would bog down to the point of stall. When boat was in neutral engine could rev up as high as it wanted.
Could the forward adjustment be to tight or the throw on the lever be to long?
When the boat was taken out of the water there was a fair amount of barnacle build up on prop and shaft.
I have not removed the gear box cover as I am still waiting on head gasket and don't want too many things going on at once.
Any direction would be helpful.
Thanks,
Joe
