Had the boat on the lake this weekend and lost forward gear. Some clanking and banging before it went out. Had only water in the lower. After talking with my dad it seems he drained the oil the last time he was at my house. If he told me he did, I forgot about it.

Reverse is smooth. I’ve taken the lower off but can’t get one bolt loose to get the skeg apart. Waiting to get a hand impact to loosen it up. What do you think I’ll find inside?

Metal shavings and maybe a bunch of metal chunks. I would stop where you are and start looking for a replacement,
