Thanks Russ - Makes sense, and yes, once explained and I think for a moment,
it seems crazy that the clutch itself would be dependent on or even subject to
the prop's thrust load. So the question of 'why' remains one of life's
mysteries....

Hi Dave,
For most marine gearboxes the output flange
bearing is a thrust bearing. There to take up the shaft thrust fore and aft.
Try to move that output flange forward or back,
it will seem like it's stuck fast. <insert
discalimer about some nimrod not attempting this while engine is running>
