Re: shift

There is no differance in the engine mechanism whether shifting in the water or out of the water.

Are you hearing a clunk as it goes into gear? If you are, but the boat doesn't move, you may have a spun hub in your prop.

Try this,

When on the trailer, shift into forward gear then go and try to physically turn the prop. If the prop moves, the hub is spun, if it doesn't move, it should be turning in the water.
