Hey Guys & Ladies,
Beneteau 331, Yanmar 3GM30F
Transmission, Kanzaki KMZP-1
(Integral throttle / shifter
After a great day on the water here in TN with some actual wind in Aug I encountered a problem with backing into my slip (and this may have been my fault). I had put the engine in reverse from forward to back up, and it felt like the engine was coming off it’s mounts and out the engine compartment. I may have been shifting to fast, ie: not stopping at neutral.
Always check oil in X-mission as part of my pre-checks, also check engine mounts, and oil, filters etc on engine. Engine has 354 hours on it, boat is a 2004 model, which I purchased new. Also it shook in neutral, again like I said, I may have have been shifting to fast. (Lots of traffic and had to back in slip) . Any ideas? I’m going to try running this through the gears slowly again in the slip and see what happens. Appreciate comments!
Thanks
