Hello Everyone,
I live down in the virgin islands, and we just don't get many great days, to get out into the ocean, and really run my 22 classic. Well yesterday was one , 3 to 4 swells, slight chop, but very workable. I have a 454 / 385 hp with a 21 turbo prop. I was at a stand still, and gave it a lot of juice, to get up on plane to go in, and something gave on my bravo 1. First i thought it was the engine, but upon turning the engin on and off, it seems fine. I have no prop action at all, and i cannot even get into reverse. I could at first hear what i belive was a mid level thud, for a little while. Now the engine runs, but no movement in gear, no prop turn. Cannot even get it into reverse. I still had a beautiful day, got a tow from a really great young couple, out there with their dog. Anyway, anyone have any ideas on the problem ? The mechanic will check this week, i was just curious. Thanx, and everyone have a "" Merry Xmas ""
