I have a 2.3 Penta AQ131 matched up to a 275. When I try to reverse the leg hops. Is there some sort of locking device that may be broken here?

Thanks guy. I hope this is something I can correct. I am trying not to contribute so much to my boat mechanics vacation fund this year.

Get in there and clean ALL the crud off...then shoot white grease all over everything, and move all the parts that ya can. And don't quick shift it if it does start to work..

Its cleaned up but one of 2 shaft pins had snapped off. I ordered a replacement and will attempt to remove the piece still threaded in.
