Hey Boaters,<br /><br />Problem #1 : When I change the gear from neutral to reverse you can hear a little grinding sound in the engine (not sure where) , any ideas what is happening. It doesnt happen when you put it in forward gear.<br /><br />Problem #2 : When flushing the motor with water. The motor is OFF. Water ON and connected to the muffs. Noticed Mid way up the motor water is coming out. But When the motor is then running water is only coming out through the proper exit hole.<br /><br />Any advice out there for P #1 and #2?

prob1: could be the shift cable... disconnect<br />and shift manually and see if still happens.<br />prob2: a bad seal? when's the last time you<br />dropped/insected th lower unit? at least drain<br />it and see if there's any water mixed with the oil.<br />good luck,<br />M.Y.
