My starboard outdrive was having a little trouble going into gear and through my research i came to know it is from a situation often referred to as 'glazing' of the clutch surfaces. There are a couple of fixes . . .
1) Buy/install a new gear/clutch set ( $1,000+ in parts alone)
2) Disassemble the gear/clutch set and rough up the surfaces slightly, removing the 'glazing'
Since I only get so much allowance each week, I chose option #2
Here are a few pictures of the disassembly . . .
Getting the Gear set apart was a bit tricky, as I was afraid to force it, but I figured it out.
Now, I need to put it all back together and do the same to the other outdrive. Hopefully it all works . . .
