Was coming back from only my 2nd outing on the boat.
Engine was running fine.
Got back to the dock and was lined up to reverse into the slip.
Shifted into reverse and got no boat movement.
I could hear the tranny make the reverse sound, but no thrust.
Long story short, the prop shaft coupling is intact.
The engine 1/2 spins.
The prop shaft 1/2 spins.
The prop shaft does not spin.
On another boat I had, the prop shaft half coupling was clamped to the prop shaft by a large bolt.
Then a pin bolt was screwed into the coupling to positively lock the coupling to the shaft.
As of this writing, I do not know if there is a pin bolt in place or not.
Anybody has a a doc/video/experience on how to lock the prop shaft to the prop shaft half coupling?
