Hi Steve,
Did you verify if the shaft is spinning in reverse at low speed?
I'm thinking it might take high RPM to get your prop working after
the winter chill & sit...

Hello all, Diamond Girl launched on the weekend.
All is good except for going backwards . . .
It only kicked in when I revved the engine fairly high.
Happened two more times. So here is some back ground and my questions:
Yanmar 3GM engine, exc condition, well maintained, 450 hrs.
Variprop 2 blade 7 years old, last relubed 2014 with spec grease, manuf
calls for every 5 years.
I did not relube this year, did not think it needed it.
I also redid stuffing box packing this year, drip rate looks good but could
it be binding and not allowing tranny to go into reverse gear? I am not
familiar with the gearbox on this engine.
Any thoughts on possible causes and fixes now that the boat is in the water?
Thanks
