Last night I was at the boat store and overheard one of the salesmen talking with a customer. He told the guy that you should throw the engine into gear instead of easing it into gear. Comments?
Yep, easing it into gear wears the top edges of the clutch dogs and mating dogs on the gears. They get rounded off enough and they start skipping over each other.
Absolutely. Biggest mistake I made when I was young and naiieve........ease her into gear to reduce wear......worng!!!!!! big time. Slam that sucker home.
