I replaced the water impeller, had the boat in forward, and the lower unit slipped out of gear, now the prop spins freely. I read that I need to rotate the driveshaft clockwise when looking down at it, but it is not doing the trick. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I am a first year boat owner of a 1985 Chapperal with a 170 hp mercruiser I.O.. I changed the thermostat and the impeller and still same problem. It is a intermitten problem sometimes I can pull a tuber for hours, then suddenly the temperature just jumps up and won't go back down. I noticed...
I replaced the impeller and put the lower unit back on with considerate resistance. Now when I go from neutral to reverse or forward there is some clanking until it is seated then smooth. Is this going to ruin my gears or is some of this ok? I am a first year boat owner. The motor is a 1985...
