I have been doing some DIY repairs on my Sea Ray for the past couple months and a couple days ago, after I put my rebuilt Mercarb back on, I was trying to set the idle close to were I need it until I can get it on the lake. While the boat was idling, I put the control in forward gear and the lower unit on the outdrive had a clicking or ratcheting sound coming from it. Prop not turning. I shut the engine off, put it back in forward gear and checked the prop by turning it by hand. It spins freely in forward direction and clicks in the reverse direction. Unsure about why it might do this? I had the outdrive off a few weeks ago, and I thought that I removed and replaced it the right way but obviously something moved or something is wrong. Could it just need an adjustment? My outdrive serial # is OD479322. I was also told that someone on here might be kind enough to get me a download for a service manual? Any help would be great!
