Outdrive advice?
 
So my first time out with my new to me 29" Warlock. The boat has a IMCO upper and Bravo lower. The boat has a 540 with a super charger big horsepower and a huge cam surge. My wife for some reason threw it into drive on a high rev :( after that I had no forward or reverse had to get towed. A mechanic buddy of mine said I blew the cone clutch in the IMCO upper. Does this sound right? I was hoping to get some input.

Thanks

Sounds like a strong possibility. BUT I am not a drive expert, I never slept in a MOTEL 8 either.

Could be a broken Clutch shaft also, I'm not an expert either, BUTI did stay at Holiday Inn Express last week!!!

I'd be more pissed that she blew the drive and not you.

But, I have never stayed at an hourly rate hotel wih a coin bed and jacuzzi in the bathroom.

Yes that sounds right. Absolute no no!! I have an XR with Imco Lower in the swap for sale. Fresh rebuild.

Had a similar issue several years back. Drive got dumped in fwd at high rpms. Can you shift the drive at all? Mine welded the cone clutch to the shaft and was stuck in fwd but couldn't shift.

I can shift forward and back but nothing will engage.

Ouch, I'd buy a Fountain that comes with some skanks. But keep them away from the helm.
