    67 rude electric clutches slip

    The clutches on my faithful 67 40 hp rude are starting to slip under load. Is it the clutch spring that wears or the shaft that it grabs, I have read that you can switch the reverse clutch for the forward with like new results. Help!

    Shaft length

    I had always assumed that the original '67 Rude 40 that came with my boat was a short stem but now I am not so sure. The original factory repair manual identifies the 40773 as "5" longer than standard. The cavitation plate runs about 2 1/2" below the lowest point of the center V on my 68 13'...
