It's a rebadged 8 HP Merc version, the issue is that when the OB is started at neutral the prop spins with thrust. If spinning prop by hand whith OB OFF and geared forward, there's a clak sound when turned left, locks when turned right.
At neutral prop locks somewhere, at reverse prop spins freely. Something must have gone bad inside gear case, wonder what ? this model does not have the simple shift rod lever / shift lever stopper mechanism found in same 8 HP Tohatsu versions.
Can gear FNR smoothly with OB ON-OFF with no issues at all...
