Hello. I recently purchased the above motor for parts and then I got to wondering if it might be a worth while project. The fellow I bought it from said it had been running well and the prop hit a rock. From that moment on he couldn't get it to shift out of forward and the prop shaft won't turn. Does anywone out there have experiance with this and/or some ideas as to the potential problem/solution. Thanks, Rick.

Yep.... open the lower unit and see what's broken, and replace it...
check the shifting fork too. it may have jumped out of the groove.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping someone could (through experiance) give me an idea as to what the likely problem will be. Thanks, Rick.
