1986 mercruiser 3.0/140 HP, this morning after finish tuneup I let engine idle for few minutes.
Is normal to me when I shift to forward it makes a little noise I guess it's normal. Okay but this time I decide to shift on reverse to my surprise ~ engine cutoff ~ this is new never happened before.
Listen guys/gal's, okay
I override the cutoff switch to check the reverse shifting, very~very softly I continue moving on reverse when suddenly (I felt like every gear were out of place) I did stop there and that's all with the reverse shift. Now after few minutes thinking
the horrible noice coming from the drive I decide to start engine on and check the forward shift to my surprise it's working fine. Happy for that. So after cutoff switch back to normal when I shift to reverse engine cutoff again.
Okay, my questions are:
What happened to my Sterndrive all the suddenly the drive change.
What steps I need to follow to investigate this.
And to correct it.
Hopefully nothing dad happens.
I will appreciate it any help!!!
Thanks
