When we leave the water with our boat the left drive kicks into neutral. Does anyone have any ideas?

Or it may just be warn out?

mr mercruiser

maybe cable adjustment??

glastron

Is that issue covered in the manual? Is it very easy?

glastron

Has anyone ever had this problem? Every time the boat gets air my drive kicks out of gear.......

You should be easing back on the Thottle as the boat leaves the water, so that your RPMs don't change when your prop breaks free. Then back onto the the thottle as your prop reenters.
I have never had my drive shift into nutral.

Well, I try to come off the gas in time. But every once in a while they do kind of spin out. I do have rev-limiters on it to save the motors but the outdrive does seem to kick out into neutral. I wounder if it has anything to do with that drive Haven the extra gear in it for the lefthand rotation?

Griff

There is no extra gear. All Bravo's can be run in RH or LH rotation.


So it comes out of gear and you have to come off plane and go to idle and put it back into gear???????

Is the shifter moving or is it an internal deal?

Payton

Is it possible that your prop is breaking free of the water thne it is simply spinning out after you re-enter. You have to slow the engine to get it to bite again?
IF that is the case, you need to keep your hand on the thottle and be ready to pull back at any time. And, I would bet if you pull your prop off, you'll find a twisted prop shaft.
