Hopefully someone can figure out what outdrive I have before I start ordering parts or get the outdrive yanked. I have an outdrive problem. My boat is a 1994 Baha 295 Conquistar, engines (5.0L Ford 302) just replaced both engines, but outdrives are original.
Starboard outdrive has no forward or reverse. Was crusing ar 30 knots 3400 rpm when all of the sudden, no load and engine (starboard) revs up to 6,000 rpms. I did not spin a prop (checked that already) and i did not hit anything.
The starboard outdrive in forward gear, I spin the prop and shaft by hand CCW but not CW.
In reverse I can spin the prop and shft CW, but in CCW I can still spin it, but it has drag, almost like tightening a stripped bolt.
The port side works in reverse order. in forward i spin the prop CW but it locks up in CCW in reverse I can spin it CCW but locks going CW. As you can see they should both be doing the same.
Anyone got any ideas on whats wrong?
