Hello everyone,
We bought an Ericsson 35 with Atomic 4 last fall. It had been on the hard for 2 years prior to our purchase and is still on stands next to the house. It appears that the prop shaft continues to turn in neutral. I have looked into the reversing gear the shifting yoke appears to move the operating cone well in and out of forward. There is a slight amount amount of play in the clutch disks in neutral when jiggled with a screw driver. I tried to increase the travel of the operating cone a bit by turning the reverse adjusting nut slightly counterclockwise. It "feels" smoother at the pedestal shifter but the shaft still spins when I "bump" the starter. Any other suggestions and can this be even be adjusted out of the water? I would like to move onto servicing the cooling system and converting to FWC before moving it out to the mooring.
Thanks
Chris
