[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 406523, member: 20605"] very nice!!! did you say the PO said it had a gear issue? I not catch that in the original post. My first boat was a 1960 Chrysler glass 14 ft boat with a 40 hp Johnson It was frozen and I rebuilt the powerhead and it ran like a top in the driveway, shifted fine in both forward and reverse took it to the local lake, fired it up and took off. It kept popping out of forward gear under load. If I held the shift lever down in forward it would go, but as soon as I let off pressure it would pop out. So we went around the lake backwards for the day fishing lol anyway I took the lower unit apart and the clutch dog had worn out and also the tabs in forward gear were rounded off from it slipping. I replaced the clutch dog and used a dremel to shape up the tabs on the gear was fine after that my point is if there is a problem with the gears it may be something like this and you will only find out when you go on your maiden voyage. If there was no problem, then I just shared one of my favorite boat stories from my youth lol [/QUOTE]
