Long time since I had an outboard, but is it possible that in reverse, the leg could cavitate a very negative head to the intake, or even a void? That would create the situation he had. Tony B generally speaks a lot of sense, but is inclined to contribute to situations he does not encounter; then again lots of people do that,(me included sometimes, but I hope not dogmatically) I've heard something similar, outboards can be prone to overheat in reverse for that reason. Never had to reverse far enough to notice any problems though.
