ok today out on the water i was at 3/4 trottle and then the motor cut back but the rpms stayed the same so i pulled the trottle back first thought was i spun a prop hub so i got back to the ramp only being able to go 5kts. Got it back to the house an pulled the prop and some of the rubber in the prop was melted so after that i pulled the drain for the LU and i found the problem the were metal chips and chunks next i pulled the bearing assemly and the gears are chipped bad and some teeth are broke off. Now my Question what would cause this to go out? and how hard is it to pull the gears and re aline them together and where is a good place to buy the parts thanks again for any reply.
And once again what would cause this to happen? i just replace the gear oil and there was a little water not much at all and there was not metal on the plug thanks
