[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 348772, member: 3278"] Remove the recoil starter assembly. Remove the spark plugs. Try to rotate the flywheel by hand. If it is still difficult to rotate then the issue will probably be in the gearcase. There is a "slip clutch" assembly on the driveshaft on that engine. When an underwater object is struck this assembly is designed to slip. Unfortunately the spring elongates and forces the driveshaft up against the crankshaft creating a bind. On this engine the only way to verify this is to loosen the gearcase bolts and verify. Do this and if the powerhead frees up that is your issue. In order to remove the gearcase the powerhead has to be removed so that the shift shaft can be connected and disconnected. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
