No. In neutral everything is turning except the prop shaft. That round part of the foot is where the forward & reverse gears are. But the water pump and the vertical shaft always run when the engine is running.

Default Confused Now....

Took the boat up to a repair shop, hooked up water to the drive, stared the engine. No noise! Put outdrive in gear, no vibration. Going to take it to the lake tomorrow and test it in the water. Checked all that was mentioned above and no obvious issues.????

Default Definitely Broke!

Took the boat down to the lake and got it off the trailer, started the engine, put it in gear and just about shook the back off. The only thing different is that I am putting pressure on the outdrive when in the water. the other thing I noticed is that when I use to spin the prop in neutral, I would hear a tick, tick, tick, and there would be slight resistance. Now the prop spins freely and no tick. I think something broke in the lower end. Opinions appreciated.
