How does the gearbox work on an outboard?
The gearbox also dictates which direction the prop shaft and propeller rotate in. The drive shaft enters the gearbox and ends at a pinion gear. The pinion gear is permanently engaged with the forward gear and the reverse gear, so when the driveshaft is rotating, the pinion gear is rotating, and the forward and reverse gears are rotating.
What happens when the shift shaft is in reverse?
When the shift shaft is in Forward, the dog clutch is engaged, causing the prop shaft and dog clutch to rotate in a specific direction. The opposite occurs when the shift shaft is in Reverse, allowing it to move the other direction.
How often do you change the shift shaft?
Replace the impeller once every 300 hours or once every two years. You might also need to replace the bottom plate, cartridge, O-rings and gaskets when you change the impeller. The shift shaft is responsible for putting the outboard in or out of gear by working with the transmission.

What makes a gear shift go past neutral?
Have a trained tech check it over. You could have stiffness in the shift linkage, wear in the control box or cables, or the cable and/or shift rod out of adjustment – or all of the above – making the shift have to go past neutral. …possessing more tools than talent ! My sarcasm and my sincerity sound surprisingly similar !
How does throttle control work on a boat?
Throttle control is VERY STIFF Check the control box just beneath the key. There should be a knob there that adjusts throttle friction. That adjustment is what allows the throttle lever to stay where you put it when you take your hand off it.
