    Assuming you had the motor in gear while trying to turn the powerhead
    via the prop? If so, perhaps the clutch dog only allows you to turn the
    powerhead via the prop in the opposite direction of the gear selection?
    Of course, don’t allow the driveshaft to turn the wrong direction, as
    the impeller may be damaged.
