| Post subject: | Pro-Drive problem |
A couple of days ago I was runnin my Prodrive 27 and I was just cruising and my lower unit somehow spun thru part of the reverse cycle, about 90 degrees to the right and it nearly threw me out of the boat. I dont think I hit anything cause I was in deep water but it happened so fast that i could have . I wasnt in a turn or anything. But I dont know how it happened because I used reverse earlier that day and ran around for about an hour and nothing happened. I was just wondering if anybody ever had this happen to them? I'd like to know what happened and how to fix it or keep it from happening again before I go out again. |

if the t pin didnt fully set back to the forward position the lower can spin freely whenever, so if previous to this event if you used reverse that is probally what happened |

If the 27 is like the 36. The pin is wore out. ( the one you pull to put in reverse). Maybe not but I think that could be your problem. or you did not let it go back in its place. |

im guessing it is worn out, just going off of how I rode around through shallow water and grass and stuff right after i used reverse and nothing happened, |

I don't know how you would wear one out. But pull the pin assy apart and take a look. Pretty simple process. The holes in the reverse plate will open up some over time but after 3 years or heavy use mine is still fine. Make sure the return spring in the T-pin assy is still holding up. |

Give Pro Drive a call. They did have some issues with some of the units and were replaceing them under warranty. |
