Hey guys i hope you can help. I have a 95 40 hp force motor and has worked great for many years. The last time I took it out everything was going fine until I tried to take it out of gear... didnt work, so I put it into reverse and it lunged forward. I ended up having to turn it off to prevent crashing into the dock. Since then the boat wont go into gear, an occasional grinding sound is what I get. I also noticed the prop wont turn when I push on it. Ive been told by a friend that it could be the gear box? or possibly the gear shaft. If so, because my boat is of age would it be easier to by a foot off craigslist? Please let me know what you think, im dieing to get back on the water. Thanks.
