a boat Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Good Morning, remove the gearbox and see what difference that makes. If the gearshift is nice and free then the problem is in the gearbox. If still stiff you are going to have a problem with the linkages in the engine, due to the fact that you say when the controls are removed from the outboard the control box is nice and free. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Huey. Thanks for the info guys I am an ex mechanic, is the gear box removal an easy job, looks like you disconnect the linkage and undo the bottom leg bolts and drop it down. is that about the it? I gather that if the problem is in the gear box it would have to go to a outboard mechanic what about the gear box oil level could this have an effect any help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi mate, the gearbox is easy to remove. Disconnect the shiftshaft, trim the outboard up and remove the bolts and the gearbox falls away. If you have low gear oil which has caused the gears/bearings to fail then yes that will be the cause of the hardshifting and can be expensive to repair, but I doubt that is the problem. I am guess the tightness will be in the linkages in the powerhead. While you have the gearbox off, best to drain the oil checking for water and debris and then replace the gearbox oil, we have a good kit for about $35 which includes HPF gear oil and pump to make it an easy job to do once a season. Also with the g/box off replace the impeller while you are there-not expensive and easy to do, unless it was done in the last 18-24 months. Call me if you need any further help, Cheers, Craig.
