  • Can forward and reverse gears be swapped?

    I have an 81 Evinrude 35 that will momentarily pop out of gear for a split second under load in forward gear. I plan on replacing the clutch dog but everyone says that I should also replace the forward gear. Is it possible to switch the forward and reverse gears when installing the clutch dog? I do not want to have to purchace the forward gear if i don't have to.

    They are not reversable, you will need to purchase the forward gear if it is required.

        If you are talking about the battery cable, then one goes to the engine block as a ground the other goes to either a solenoid or distribution block.

          Can the clutch dog be rotated 180 degrees if the front gear side is not damaged?

            The clutch dog uses both of its ends. But in theory yes you can turn it around.
