I am not familiar with the Mercruiser outdrive in regards to the type of clutch it has. When I had OMC Cobra outdrives there were two types of clutch, dog tooth and cone. The dog tooth type of clutch was basically two castle nuts facing each other. When you slid the throttle forward you were pressing the two together and that would put it in gear. I remember the mechanic at the dealer telling me with a dog clutch you do NOT want to slip it into forward slowly, if you do you get a grinding noise which is the teeth trying to engage. You are to forcefully fully engage and you will feel it snap in gear. Once you get the hang of it you just do it naturally. My last Four Winns had a King Cobra outdrive with a cone clutch it was butter smooth very nice. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy.
