Hi all. I have an AQ131 with a 275 outdrive in a 1988 Galaxie boat. Yesterday I shifted into neutral to pick up a tuber and my outdrive screamed with this high pitched grinding sound. I pulled my throttle back a little and got it to lesson and then stop, but feared I had put it in reverse. I never got the boat to shift into neutral without the screaming noise. I checked the oil in the outdrive, clear and full.
I am hoping it is just my linkage, but fear it could be much worse.
Any ideas or pointers?
I am new to the boating game but am a bit mechanical.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
