[QUOTE="catman529, post: 283791, member: 7763"] Thanks all for the advice. I don't think the gears are bad... a few nights ago I put it in gear and turned the prop (Forgot to pull the plug, oops) but it wasn't hard to turn the engine with the prop, so it's hard to tell that way if anything is slipping. I could hear the compression release in the engine when I turned the prop. No sound coming from the gears. Only a 5 horse so I guess it's not hard to turn it by hand? I will take the prop off, draw a line, and will hopefully be fishing tomorrow with the boat so I will get to test it. There is no nearby boat ramp so I can't just go run it in the water anytime.
