 Pro drive almost sunk me! Three times! Help
Tell me if anyone has experienced this, while driving along, my pro drive lower unit somehow comes free and spins sideways and spins my whole boat around sideways full speed. Water pours over the sides and we all almost fly out of the boat. The reverse pin is nice and tight with lots of pressure. I cant find thr problem has anyone heard of this? Any help would be appreciated. 2006 pro drive 36

 Re: Pro drive almost sunk me! Three times! Help
its an 06, I'm sure some things in the rachet system have slack in them and need replacing.
My advise would be to get ahold of Peck at PD.

I think pd redesigned the pin because it was a problem with the pin not fully engaging. Call peck.

Never heard of such a thing... No one on the Internet can help you nearly as fast as the good folks at ProDrive, they'll take good care of you.

^ this. You know the problem now, so take it in. Just be glad they have good customer service, and 3 times in 15 hours sounds like you should take it in asap.
