The brakes may be fine if he disabled them....all it takes is a small metal disk that is placed in the surge mechanism for backing . Any marine shop person would probably have one in his pocket and know how to use it (they do this all the time); I'd start with checking that first (ask if he disabled the brakes for backing). If thats not it,  check to see if something else is restricting the surge mechanism. If that checks with no restrictions (you get compression when backing), check the hydraulic level in the surge mechanism.
