Cleaning out sheds this came back into view. Complete and spark one pot……..
It has something different about the gearbox that my other one does not have.
In reverse the prop is locked either way that it is turned. Clunk Clunk aye.
Out of gear is out of any gear.
Forward prop driving is solid………then turning prop backwards, like throttling down on the water the prop freewheels with what feels like a very fine ratchet working in side. Driven the prop behaves as normal………….back off the power and a sizzle noise from within.
Clunk ratchet.
Strange
I will resize my pics as too big for the future

I thought to look in my collection of "Good Books"…..perhaps that is why I have them 😳
Maybe something here that would be the reason?
I only have two of these……….I will not turn to the darkside…….something earlier will come along for me.
Cheers

Funny motors the 60’s. It takes a moment or two to understand the shifter on them. Push down or pull forwards, and the boat goes in reverse. Push the shift lever backwards or up, and the dang boat goes forwards if I remember right. Or maybe that was on another small Merc motor….
