You'll pay twice the price for the "M" word. Old joke: A boat is a hole in the water you throw money into.
I have an OMC knuckle-drive if that's what yours is, might be able to help.
If it is a knuckle-drive, Never engage the gears over 1100 RPM. Keep it marine lubed, there's filler plugs on it. Re-lube if it's been in there a long time.

Nice truck-lift rig Jared.
What is knuckle drive and OMC?...Like I said I do not no a darn thing about boats...I know the thing can float, and I will get that motor purring...That's about it at this point.
