HELP PLEASE, got a 1988 268DA with a 7.4 magnum (454), bravo 1 outdrive. 3 weeks ago the boat ran great, last week, we took it out and it sounded like a transmission slipping. runs fine in slow speeds, go to push on the throttle, at about 3000 rpm it start to Rev up, but doesn't go anywhere. marine mech. said to switch out prop 1st. said it may have spun the hub, did, made no difference. he took the boat out, pulled up the engine cover, no rubber smell, he then pulled the outdrive, no metal shavings near the coupler. decided that it had to be the cone clutch in the upper part of the outdrive. he sent it to a certified mercruiser tech. he rebuilt the upper half of the lower unit. put it back on yesterday, same thing. while the outdrive was off he put a tool into the coupler, and a pipe on the end of it, and a big wrench in the front of the motor, he couldn't turn the coupler, that's when he said it had to be in the upper half of the outdrive. Now, he says that he has no answer, he's called other techs, and they say that they have no clue either. PLEASE, ANY IDEAS
thanks,
Matt
