I'd find another repair shop, I think there's four maybe 6 nuts holding that drive on to the gimble, it shouldn't take a true marine tech more than a few minutes to remove that drive, unless you have external steering,

no external steering,very limited certified repair shops in this area

thanks again for your reply

What others have said 6 nuts well 8 if you count the trim rams, and the drive is off. They may have said "maybe" because they cant tell till the drive is out what shape the drive hub is in.

What symptoms where you having that makes you think "glazed clutches"

93 shooter

ran like prop was spun

Ok that could indiacted it has a spun drive hub and the motor needs to be removed to fix that.

Same forward and reverse? or only in one direction.

I assume you check the prop hub to make sure its still good?

93 shooter

yes,checked prop hub
at the time,did not check reverse,just wanted to make it back to the marina

If I had to guess your drive hub is spun or weak, usally you can idle or a little above idle when they are out but anything more then that its like being in netrual.

Did you happen to smell any burnt rubber when this was happening?
