Hello all , i would like some input on what you think could be wrong here.
Had some windy weather this weekend, my bow rope slid off and got wrapped around the prop 3 times . Its pretty thick rope and the engine shut off . Didnt know what was going on so i started it again and as soon as i put it in fwd it shut off. Then looked at the prop and saw the rope
I was bouncing in waves so possible doing 3k rpm.
I start her up ..... shes fine at idle and take off, once i get to a higher speed of about 20kmh
And i hear TICK ... TICK .. TICK .
I back off and go again its the same thing .so i used the minkotta to get back
Wish i had more info but i couldnt get on plane to diagnose due to the wind
Im gonna go for a test run in the next 2 days,
Thanks
