in a previous thread, i have been posting in an attempt to figure out why i lost drive to my propeller shaft on my OMC stern stringer. i have the lower housing off and i will be dissecting it to see if i have a break in it. when i push on the shift rod and turn the prop shaft by hand i can see the spindle on the other end turning. does that mean that the lower housing is in good shape?
i suspect that the break is in the intermediate housing. my question concerning the ball gears is whether the ball gear coming out of the stern (the ball gear mated to the coupler) should be turning when the motor is running and in neutral. this would tell me a lot in terms of whether my break is with the coupler or in the intermediate. thanks in advance.
