I have an 08 270 SLX ,
Merc 496 (400HRS) Bravo 3 Outdrive DTS (digital throttle system)
During the end of season last 2 short trips i noticed that there was a delay when shifting into foward gear. After about a minute it would kick into foward gear. No problem shifting in reverse. This would happen when pulling out of my slip so I didn’t rev it up. I bring my boat to a reputable Merc Marine shop and they winterize and remove the out drive. Then they service out drive through the winter and reinstall the outdrive in the spring just prior to launching the boat. My question is has anyone experienced the same issue and was the cone clutch the issue? Also i figure its cheaper to replace it while outdrive is off. Also anything else that should be changed at that time in connection with the cone clutch ? The Outdrive gets services every year.
