Hi, When we arrived in Celina Our car would not go into 3rd. As it turned out
our floor had shifted toward the drivers door. I loosened the seat and with a
large screw driver I just pushed the floor over a bit. Then it was smooth
shifting. Good luck Tommy in Tampa

I don't know about going in circles when loosing a prop; but we lost
the left side of our water tranny last year while swimming in the
river and only had a drastic drop in power swimming back to the
beach. We had such a drop in power that we didn't have enough speed
to get up out of the water. We got stuck in the sand and had to be
pushed out by a few friendly folks.

It is a good thing to carry a spare prop with you as Nick Borchardt
can attest to that when he broke one at one of our past swims.

Over the weekend, all of a sudden, we became unable to get the
shifter over to the left far enough to get it in reverse. Any
suggestions B4 we take the seats and floor board out for a look?
