This is the theory I’ve heard on why Mercury ramped their forward gear/dog… Not sure if it’s the actual reason or not, but it makes sense…
Mercs automatically release the tilt lock when in forward gear, the motor is free to tilt up if you have a sudden deceleration. This is made worse if the prop can’t "free wheel".
