Weird problem has occured with my outboard. Starts and idles perfect but when you put in gear it runs normally until you reach half throttle well in gear. The engine suddenly 'slips' out of gear and then goes into neutral while still being in forward gear, as you decrease acceleration it engages back into gear? Somewhat the feeling of a slipping clutch in a car it feels like. Have pulled off the leg of the outboard and all looks ok.

Would love someone to give me some advice on this before i give up :D

Thanks in advance
