Hi all,
I have a VP d4 260 with dph drive, today when coming into the mooring, I attempted to engage reverse,but the engine just stalled with a loud continuous beep. It had been working fine all day,but I hadn't used reverse. It started up again,and reverse selected fine,as did forward.
I read on here it could be a stiff gear select cable,or a faulty actuator. I also read that the cable could be stiff through growth at drive end,. I'm thinking this could be the cause as it's been 2 months since it was last used and now (after dislodging the growth maybe?) it seems to shift fine.
Any ideas on how to determine where the problem lies?
Thanks
