Smitty, glad we could help I just wish I hadn't fallen of my trailer in the process( not good)! The HTM guy's name is Ted. Hope the problem with the drive wasn't to serious, Rob

Thanks again for the help landing my reverse only boat, I am so sorry you fell and busted your azz just trying to help a guy you didn't even know. I hope you were able to get outa bed Monday morning without too much pain. I definately owe you some drinks next time we run into each other!!!. I haven't even pulled the drive off the boat yet to see if cable just jammed up or if something broke in the upper , my sneaking suspicion is something finally gave up in the cone clutch as the shifter wouldn't really move outa reverse when it stuck in, I have too much paying work going on at the moment after being gone for 4 days to be able to tear into the boat in good conscious (I fix transmissions and rear ends on trucks/ cars as a business). I am sure now that its still down that it will be spectacular out this weekend and I will probably have Sunday off from my night job (which hardly EVER happens), Smitty
