hi raiders,this is my first post but always keeping an eye on the fishraider for great information and entertainment.
any way yesterday ,i was tempted to perform a simple service on my 2006 etec 60,like .change the gear oil,clean the propeller (take it off and grease the spline and shaft),grease the metal parts in the powerhead,,,when i turn on the motor it runs normal in neutral ,but when you shift into reverse or forward, just at the point of semi engaged ,the lower unit /propeller gives couple of click sound, while you push the lever more into gear the clicks go away.,i am no mechanic at all and have no clue why it clicks, the click was not there before yesterday .i know there are a few outboard gurus on the forum,please help or give me a clue of the clicks come from.heaps thanks
