So after a pleasant cruise on Lake Union last night I decided to see how the boat handled using only one engine. I fired up the post side and set off at 6 knots. Well when I was getting near the dock I fired up the STBD side. I gave the STBD side some throttle to start spinning the boat into my spot. Nothing happened. I got lots of REVs but no thrust.
I got the boat in using just the Port engine and rudder. When I went below to try to see what the problem was I saw this! And a little metal bar which fits into that slot was sitting right below the shaft.
I think dragging the prop through the water did it. But I'm sure it shouldn't have.
Can I fix this myself while the boat is still in the water?
