Your bellows are leaking... I would pull your boat soon and change them with only Quicksilver bellows and while your are there do a shift cable and a must is a Gimbal bearing. And Flush your drive... Your outdrive is prob full of water.. Sry for the bad news.... If you try to wait, till the end of the season ur out drive will prob be bad and be stuck on..

And/or the boat could sink. Pull it and get those replaced!

That kind of confirms my suspicion. It happened the other day while I was out on the water messing around
 
This would be a "critical , ASAP" type of problem and most likely will not survive till the end of the boating season. Now if your batteries go dead........................................................
Figure about a 4 hour job IF everything come apart easily
 
Definitely do your shift cable. Had one break in me on the water. Killed the weekend. YouTube how to change. If all goes well bout 2-4 hrs
