I recently purchased a 1978 27ft to work on as a family project. I've run into a rough spot, and believe my gearbox needs repair. It's the original SB8 engine and I've having a tough time finding details on rebuilding it. If anyone could provide guidance that would be great.
The main 2 problems are grinding when going into reverse, and no power output in forward. I can see the prop shaft spinning but it's much slower than in reverse, it seems to be slipping pretty badly.
