Re: Boat wont go

Please let us know the model number of the outboard. It sounds like you have a lower unit issue. With the model number we may be able to get you a diagram of the Gearcase and show you what may be wrong.

Re: Boat wont go

Check the lower unit oil, is there any metal particles in it?
Will the prop spin freely when in gear?
