Yes, that is exactly what happens! The powerhead sinks back toward the prop shaft when power is applied and there is a mount problem. When the powerhead sinks back, it pulls the shift lever linkage back (which is secured in the forward pan) and pops the shift rod/lever into neutral. Oftentimes, you can simulate this situation by just pushing the powerhead rearward and you will see the shift lever/linkage being yanked when the mounts are bad….
