Hello all, Diamond Girl launched on the weekend. All is good except for going backwards . . .
It only kicked in when I revved the engine fairly high. Happened two more times. So here is some back ground and my questions: Yanmar 3GM engine, exc condition, well maintained, 450 hrs. Variprop 2 blade 7 years old, last relubed 2014 with spec grease, manuf calls for every 5 years. I did not relube this year, did not think it needed it. I also redid stuffing box packing this year, drip rate looks good but could it be binding and not allowing tranny to go into reverse gear? I am not familiar with the gearbox on this engine. Any thoughts on possible causes and fixes now that the boat is in the water?
