Need a little help with a question. Here is the story, I just bought a NITRO boat, I was told that the motor was in good shape. The only thing that was wrong was the foot. I was told the prop hit something on coming in.. And as you turn the prop, you can hear that something is just not right. When I got the boat home, I connected everything, and the motor made one full rotation and thats it. Now it rotates a quater of a turn by hand and thats it. The prop spins freely in nutrual. My question is How do you know if a motor is locked up, when it did spin one time. I tried a wranch on the flywheel and no go.

Thanks Mav

Drop the lower unit and try again.

i agree. You probably have broken gear pieces in the foot that are binding thus not allowing the motor to turn either.
