i have a 1977 johnson 115. the lower unit went bad last year and i put on one at the end of the season last year but it was too late to actually put it in and test it. i started the boat about a week ago and it runs great.. but when i put the motor into gear the prop doesnt spin and i dont believe the gears are spinning either. when its in gear and the motor is running i can go back and turn the prop by hand and feel the gears moving, but they wont move on their own. i dont know much about lower units so idk whats going on with it. any input on what could be wrong would be appreciated. i wanna get it out soon so i am trying to figure it out. really hoping i didnt get screwed on the lower unit.. thanks in advance for the help.
