1. Transmission question
When I crank my engine,even though it is in neutral, I get slow forward rotation of the prop shaft. I stops when shift to forward or reverse. I can stop this rotation with my hand as it seems to be free wheeling with no torque. What am I seeing.

Perfectly normal. When it stops in neutral you have a problem. Mine stopped, but I continued to run it. The engine and shaft came out of alignment and it caused the rear seal in the transmission to start leaking. With the engine off, you should be able to spin the shaft with only a bit of effort. If not, you may want to get an alignment.

Most marine transmissions will creep some in neutral. This is because the oil is thick enough to cause the clutch plates to act somewhat enguaged. There is nothing to worry about unless you cannot stop the shaft rotation with a light pressure applied. I hesitate to say grabbing the shaft because I have seen injuries from that nonsense. Bill is also right if the shaft rotates free then all should be good. Double check the oil brand and type to be sure it agrees with the spec in the owners manual.
Hope all had a great holiday and are back on the water in search of the big one.

I just checked the manual and I'm using Dexron as per instructed so I guess it's normal. Thank you
