Ok, I am not good at describing whats going on so I will do my best....
Was out fishing today and on the way back I heard a sound like I hit something (didn't really hit anything) then I started hearing noises coming from what sounded like the prop. I ended up limping it back to the dock and went home.
When I got home I was wondering if my prop spun, so I took off the prop and ran it with the ears. Put it in Forward and low and behold the prop shaft (no prop on) would spin then stop, then spin then stop, and I was hearing a funky noise. So I throw it back in neutral and all is fine. I throw it in reverse to see if it does it and reverse seems fine, no issues.
I then proceed to "troubleshoot" the issue by putting it into forward again. Funny thing is (and probably most important detail) is I can move the shift lever back towards neutral (not all the way but just right before it shifts back into neutral) and the shaft spins fine, and noise is faint/gone.
Any ideas?
