Just picked up an 8HP outboard off Craigslist for $200 (no prop though). The engine runs the gear shifter seems to work. However when I put in gear the lower horizontal shaft (prop connects to) doesn't spin.
The previous owner said he hit a sand bar pretty hard and the issue is most likely in the lower unit.
I just need to know where to begin with troubleshooting. Would I be better off a used lower unit off eBay?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
