I have the same issue.  Mine is a '73 I bought about a month ago -- On a Whim -- I like the boat, but I'm learning about it.  The broker told me to engage reverse slowly and it will catch.  That works, but it doesn't seem correct.

I have the Atomic 4 with the standard in-line (??) transmission. I've noticed lately that when I engage reverse, it takes a few seconds (10 to 20) to actually start turning the prop in reverse - you can tell by that whirring noise that it makes. What would be causing this?

It's time to drain and replace the transmission fluid in my Universal M-18.
I've never done this before. Does anyone know approximately how much fluid
it will take? I'm assuming I'll have to access the drain plug by crawling
into the port lazarette. Any words of advice on this job? Thanks.
