Boat has been running great lately. Had it up Lake Erie 2 weeks ago.
Took bout out today, went to back of trailer and it sounded like LU wanted to tear it self apart.
Brought it home and followed steps in manual for re-installing LU. tried forward first but did not know exactly where LU gear shaft should be for forward. I have read all the way CCW, however there is no all the way CCW. It stops but can be turned past that point.
Anyways I choose neutral (did it this way before) Got it reassembled. it passed the test in the yard according to manual. Forward can turn CW resistance when turned CCW,,,,,,Neutral can turn freely either way.....Reverse resistance either way.
Go back to lake put it in reverse, and same thing.
I mention Erie cause I was searching this today and seen you should never trailer in Neutral, I never knew this, always trailered in Neutral, is this what caused the problem? Its about 100 miles
Where do I go from here?
