The second pic is the drive shaft gear. The third pic is the reverse gear and clutch dog. The clutch only has one tooth that has any wear visible, for the forward gear portion.
Is it really slipping out of gear or is the prop slipping on the hub?

Thanks bud. Gonna give it a whirl. Thinking back, I did get a trot line badly wound up early last season, before the issue occurred. Maybe that kicked this off...
Hello, Im a life long boater and Im guessing your problem may be with the shift cable adjustment "or" the shift linkage at the motor end make sure when your shift lever is in foreward that the shift belcrank is fully into engage position.I was hoping to get the input of y'all as several of you have owned boats for much longer than I. Last duck season, I noticed my outboard starting to "slip" out of gear at full throttle only in forward gear. It would only happen every now and then, but it's gotten much more frequent since, to the point where I can't really push past 3/4 throttle without the "slip" happening every 10-15 seconds.
I pulled my lower unit off to investigate. The lower unit oil was fine and I inspected it quite well while cleaning it off my workbench and floor (managed to forget about the oil at just the wrong time and dumped it over).
The forward gear and drive gear seem fine, with no obvious rounding of the teeth, so, what should I be looking at for the issue? Attaching pics below.
