Nexi,

That's pretty normal, mine spins in neutral, just sorta idling along. You should be able to stop it with a finger be really sure it's not engaged first...

I would not run it with the engine up though. bad for ball gears and not real sure the impelor is gonna like that. I have heard some different opinions but never risk it myself just take off the quadrant gear and lower the outdrive by hand....till you can get the tilt motor sorted out.

Cheers,
B.C.

Took a next step to make sure the engine runs. Started her up with the drive up, someone said this was ok as long as the boat is in nuetral. Oddly enough the prop is spinning while in neutral. Shouldn't the prop be at a stand still during neutral?

Boat: 1967 Sportsman 120
