40 hp Force Still Slipp'n Out-a Gear

[eric-on-edge]

Tried New Prop. Still have the same problem. When going past fast idle and turning, motor is still be popp'n out-a gear. Could it be cables pulling and causing problem?? If so, how can I fix this permanently???<br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I feel like I came in on the middle of a conversation. What was the original complaint and what was the solution tried??<br /><br />What you describe, Eric, sounds like cable adjustments to me.<br /><br />Red sky at night.<br />JB

You mentioned turning. If it pops-out when you turn,then pops right back in, it is more than likely cavitation.<br />I would drain the lower unit into a pan, and feel thru the goo for chips of metal. Anything larger than a grain of salt,and you have gear damage. Some fine shavings can be concidered normal wear.<br />Also, note it's color. Gray or brownish-tan means water, which would indicate a leak.<br />The adjuster for your engine is on the starboard side,towards the front of the engine. It will be a 2" long bolt,with q lock nut on each side. I would REMOVE it first, and mark it's maximum travel,forward to reverse, just to be sure it's not binding or bending the shift fork inside the gearcase.
