36 pd. it's starting in gear without the clutch engaged. It is just barely catching, it makes a pretty loud screach. The clutch still engages just like it should, I unplugged the momentary switch to rule that out but it still is catching. This just happened suddenly the other night on the river. Any ideas to try before I call kp tomorrow? |

Sounds like the clutch is bad. Check the tension bands to see if any are bent/twisted (the ss straps underneath the bottom of the clutch that attach the clutch to the to adaptor that goes to the lower unit drive shaft). |

boatDR, do you sell clutches for PD, Gt's and MB's? And if so, a general idea on price? Thanks. |

Wires and connections all look good from what I can see. The straps all look good. They all have a bend in them but it looks like that is how it's made. |

Where should the green wire go that comes out of the clutch engagement switch? It is not hooked up on the motor side. |

Not sure this pic will work. You can see then bent bands here. |

Bent tension bands = bad clutch. Must be replaced. |

And judging from what I see there. Any chance you raced the rpm's up and shifted it into gear? That sure looks like what happens when you shift a motor into gear at too high of rpm's. |

That could be the case, the motor was running bad at one time and it needed a little extra acceleration to keep it from dying when going in gear. That is fixed now though. Looks like it will be a new clutch. I really appreciate the quick replies an help! |

KP will cut you a real deal on one. Cost plus cost again devided by 2 and multiply by three plus tax. Sounds about right... ![]() Oh, forgot the 65 dollars for shipping and 10 dollars for handleing.... ![]() |
