91 cobia 4.3 yamaha i/o
found metal shavings in drive oil.....
have used the boat regular for the last 6 weeks. after a day of boating went to start her up saturday and got a cla-clunk sound then nothing so i tried again and again ca-clunk. after four tries it starts and runs good go to put it in gear and it dies. start it back up and try reverse it goes dead. started it back up and tried again and went in gear but died. then cl-clunk again. boat finally starts again idles perfect no noises just wont go into gear.
thanks in advance for any comments. and i know fix it and get rid of it is common with the yamaha but i got alot of personal time in this boat and if i cant fix ill try to re-power.
