Running about 30 mph and pulled back really hard on the throttle - May have gone from forward to reverse - Prop will now not engage into forward or reverse. Motor runs fine and throttle works fine, just will not engage. No grinding or leaking. Linkage looks fine from the exterior. Any suggestions?

I wonder if you snapped either a shaft , or the replaceable coupling that can separate when an object is hit by the prop hard enough to prevent severe damage to the drive. Does your prop turn freely by hand, or is it locked up? Might have even snapped a u-joint. First thing I would do is remove the shift cover, and see if the shift linkage is moving. Let us know what you find. Dave-R
