Stupid Question about prop noise in gear

[dlehrke]

Hi I was having a problem with getting into forward. I replaced my cable and I'm curious about something...

When the engine if off and in drive or reverse, should there be a clicking noise when you rotate the prop the direction it should be going? Obviously I cannot turn it the worng way (CCW in drive or CW in reverse). I just haven't noticed this before and I'm worried I've done something wrong or that this wasn't the problem. Thanks.

Thanks boathog. That's what I was hoping.

Interresting. Boathog can answer a question like that not knowing what kind of drive he has.
Guess he must know that dlehrke has a Cobra.
