New boat to me just delivered. 29' Hydra-Sports purchased from East Coast Flightcraft in Middleton Ma. First let me say the dealer, Dan Lemieux, is a first class guy and a pleasure to deal with.
Long story short ! I back my boat off the trailer and realize only one engine is pulling. Both engines are running but the starboard prop is not turning. I removed the cowl and checked the cable and linkage. All connections are OK and working properly. However the starboard engine stays in neutral. I ran the 5 miles to my home and put the boat on my lift. Putting the control in either forward or reverse has no effect on the prop engaging. There is no noise, the prop turns freely by hand. The gear oil was just changed at the time of the survey and was clean, no metal or water. Long time boater but this is my first with outboards.
I hope someone has some idea what my problem might be.
Thanks
