And now, the not-so-good news
I just pulled my lower unit, and my bearing carrier has shifted backwards about 1/16", which is what caused me to not have any reverse this past weekend.
And boy, let me tell you, it is not easy to anchor in a tight line of boats, in a current, with only 6-8' of clearance to the sides, without reverse.
especially with everyone there evaluating your seamanship as you approach. THAT could be a whole 'nother thread.
