My 1969 evinrude 9.5hp jumped out of forward gear twice the last time I was out in the boat.

How do I know what damage or wear I should look for if an attempt is made to repair the bottom end.

Should the gear set be replaced as a whole? Any special advice for someone who's inexperienced in this.

I want to see If I can keep it running for a couple more seasons.:joyous:

Normally it's the forward gear and clutch dog. If you're going to do this work yourself get an OEM Factory Service Manual. Forget Seloc or Clymer as they Suck.

+1. Sounds like a worn clutch dog to me too. It's a fairly common problem and easy to fix. You simply replace the old clutch with a new one, but you will have to open the gear case to do so. Do a search here in the forums for lots of how-to threads. Check ebay and/or aomci.org for parts.
