Hi all!

Does anyone have a few pointers on how much to adjust the linkage for the reverse or any tricks or things to look for. My boat engages good into reverse on shore (with the test cups on) but as soon as I put it in the water she doesnt seem to want to go into reverse (it sounds like a "grinding" sounds almost like it doesnt want to go in all the way or the prop is still turning too fast)??

I just drained the foot and the oil seems clean with no little or no shavings.

Also wondering what kind of oil should i use and how much to put in....

Thanks in advance!
