    I was hoping you were not correct but… I decided to drain the lower gearbox and drop the unit to inspect the water pump, etc. As soon as I separated the lower, the Flywheel was able to turn freely-it was NOT a stuck piston ring as I had originally thought.

    Question is now: I am able to spin the prop shaft but not the vertical driveshaft-any suggestions. Was going to pull the lower smaller cover to take a look at the gears but don’t want to mess up the shift mechanism. Getting close to solving this; I can hear the $$ falling out of my pocket 😀 thanks for everyone’s help!
