I've got what I believe is a 1995 9.9 Merc outboard. Was out on the lake last week and at very slow just above idle speed hit the prop on some rocks that took a cip or 2 out. On the way to the next fishing spot the motor didnt seem to bee running as smooth or fast, then began revving high with no power to the prop. Prop would spin, but thats about it.
Someone at the dock said it could just be a matter of replacing the gears in the lower end.
Others said it needs a whole new lower end.
I'm very new to outboards so any help would be greatly appreciated.
