Long story short, had to rebuild the lower untit ended up at a boat mechanic due to a no reverse issue. Problem was fixed until Well today I started only to find that it does engage into reverse but it knocks. I'm somewhat familiar with this problem end of the boat lol. I know that the prop is supposed to lock one way for reverse and the other for forward. When I throttle forward the prop locks solid. When I engage reverse it will lock but slip its not solid like forward. For agrument and time sake lets say that the shift cable is where it needs to be and all is good with that. Which it is. Ive tried unhooking and pulling on cable to lock prop with no avail. Now with that mind, I can reach under the lower unit and grab the Drive Unit Shift Shaft Coupler, put a very small amount of pressure with my hand, then the prop will engage solid and will not slip at all. I mean its in between a 1/16 and a 1/8 inch of a movement that engages the prop solid, and if i release pressure, it will lock/slip again. Any advise before I bring it back to the mechanic?
