Ok,took prop off all ok
Went for a small drive today.On the way out all is fine,I stopped & started several times,including reverse.
Anchored up after few hours stared engine up put in gear,motor shook very bad.I was able to put in gear & idle along then as I went to accelerate engine shook as if it wasn't selecting gear.
So I just idled in the short distance.Wife took a small video on her phone will try to upload it.
Thanks Steve

Look I really don't think you've got a gearbox issue mate. Sounds more like an intermittent spark dropping out. Can be quite "violent" and yes, can even seem as if the g'box is jumping in/out of gear.
I think you need someone to cast their eye over it and drop it in a test tank or go for a run with you and check spark etc...

I had the guy come over who serviced to check it over,he found the bush in prop was flogged out.
Prop is a solas stainless 4 blade,in which he told me cause of 4 blades makes engine vibrate worse.
Also dropped all oil out of gear box & was clean.If I had gear box problems there would have been shiny bits in oil.
Going to send prop up to get fixed.
Thanks
