Transmission Question


Hi Group, I've got a transmission question. We fired the engines today on our Carver. The Starboard prop shaft did not spin when the engine was running while in neutral. The Port prop shaft does spin while the engine is running. It seems to be in neutral because the engine will start but the shaft spins fairly fast. Is this normal? I'm thinking that if the transmission is in neutral the shaft should not be turning. There is no load on the props as the boat is on a trailer. I had to remove the flybridge controls when I replaced some wood up there. I thought I had got everything back together in the proper adjustment. I marked everything before disassembly. I'm thinking that I need to tweak the Port transmission lever a little but I'm not sure. By the way these are Morse controls. Thanks, Jim
