[QUOTE="SAABologist, post: 495416, member: 31667"] Thanks for any pointers on what to look for when I dive into sorting out what broke in my 1987 Mariner 40EL. I have an old Mariner 2-stroke 40hp that broke yesterday. I hit a rock and bent the prop. Got that straight enough to run fine with some acceptable vibration considering the prop damage. No problem planing or getting up to speed. But after 2 or 3 miles, the lower unit started rattling real bad like gears being loose or not meshing or something. It got worse after a couple of miles and now the flywheel appears to be stuck and doesn’t want to move. Ugh. Do you have any pointers about what I should focus on tomorrow when I start taking it apart to see what I find? Thanks much, [/QUOTE]
