1991 19' Celebrity with 5.0 Mercruiser and a Alpha One II outdrive. Today while moving to a new fishing spot boat broke down. As I was slowing down and turning around at the motor I heard a whining sound. I tuned the boat off and lifted the engine cover. Restarted the boat and could still hear whining sound but not load. Now the boat would not shift into forward or reverse gears. I checked the prop hub and looks good. Took top cap off and fluid looks good. Turned prop and all gears would turn. Had wife turn prop while I looked at the shaft going to the motor. That shaft was spinning also. Tried all this in forward and reverse gear. Any help on what to check next? Thanks in advance.
