It is so nice to go out out and enjoy my boat again. The Clutchdog seemed to have solved the problem. Thanks to the great advive from all who partisipate. Wonderful forum.

The clutch dog and gears were changed from a 2 dog to a 3 dog clutch and gear set, you had to buy the complete set.
if yours works with just the new clutch, great.

I'm new here and I have the same issue with the popping out with the load. My question is do I have to pull the lower unit to replace the cluch dog.

Thanks

Me too! The 25's (split bottom gear case) are no problem. But I have never torn down my 35's.The One piece type that come out the end. Looks like a tough job to me! Mine jumps out in forward under a load, but that was after putting a water pump in it & shift rod not adjusted correctly. Brass connector / coupling threads were stripped.
If it or you keep on trying to run it w/o adjusting linkage, you're going to ruin the dogs. I just put a trap strap on mine cause there was some much slpo in the upper shift lever. Of course, with remote steer, you have no reverse. Plus, the anti-start in gear device can hamper it from going all the way (either way). I just by passed mine. Hooked a spring on it to keep it out of the way. Now, let it begin!
