Its a little hard to say from your description. Let me give you some ideas and maybe you can explain more. First you may not be getting into gear properly. That would be the clinking noise you hear. Once you start to take off and the motor revs up do you feel it has popped out of gear? If you slow the motor down is it still pushing the boat at all? If it is then it is in gear and your prop hub may be spun. You can take the prop off and mark it between the hub and outside of prop. Run it again. If marks don’t stay lined up the hub has spun. You can have it re-hubbed at a prop shop. If you are jumping out of gear sometimes the shift cable can be adjusted. Depends on how long it has been jumping out. If I have forgotten anything I am sure someone will be along to help more.
