[QUOTE="pjcalla, post: 356099, member: 12279"] Well, I have decided to do the repair myself. I plan on ordering all the parts within the next day or so. Is there a better place than boats.net? I figure I will be getting the new bearing housing, O-ring, seals, etc. I actually already tore it down, and inspected (briefly) the internals, and they all look good (so far). I accomplished this without dropping the lower unit. Would it be a good idea to drop the lower unit to inspect the motor further (upper seals), or just put it back together with the new parts? I figure it would be better to drop it, but I don't really have a ton of time before my trip. The motor was running fine in the tank, pumping water, etc., it would just not engage reverse, then I found the problem. [/QUOTE]
