I was coming into my slip this past weekend and found I did not have reverse (or so I thought) once I was tied up I put the out drive in reverse and walked aft....to see it bouncing out of the water. As a short term fix, I used 5/16 ss cable and a small turnbuckle to secure it in the down position. The drive cog (gear) had broken off and as it is under the water I will fix when I haul out next time. On the other hand, I really don't need to out drive to be adjustable. Are there any trid and true methods to secure the outdrive in the down position?
