Had the boat out today,1988,has 5.7 with Alpha 1 . was at wot doing about 42 mph and 4500 rpms. when all of a sudden it jumped to 6000 rpms and stoped all forward motion. So i shut it down immediately. opened the engine compartment and i could tell the engine was hot. (it was not over heating while i was moving) was at about 160* but was getting hot. i guess because the impeller was not turning. at this point i noticed i was taking on water in the engine compartment. it was coming out of a hole in the gimble plate just to the right side of where the water hose from outdrive comes thru.
I checked the outdrive prop and it spun freely in Neu. i put it in forward and would spin one way but not the other. put in reverse and it spun one way but not the other, As it should. But when i started the engine and put it in forward NOTHING. no gears and was heating up fast.
So it seems i have no drive from the engine to ????? where ever.
Anyone have any Ideas before i start dismateling things
