[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 456160, member: 13975"] The "slips out of gear at high rpms" line is straight from a Craigslist ad on the subject motor. I'm interested in upgrading my 15 Johnson to a 25, which is the hp limit on my two closest lakes, and this one caught my attention. Literally having no more details, I'm assuming this would most likely be caused by 1) incorrectly adjusted shift rod/lever 2) spun hub or 3) worn clutch dog. First two would be easy fixes and I'm willing to split the gear case despite never having attempted that feat on an outboard before. I'm curious if I'm forgetting anything else that could likely cause this issue? Would like to know so I can research before going to inspect it in person. I plan to call and get additional details later this evening. [/QUOTE]
