Hi all I sent a boy to do a mans job, and now my fishing boat has lost performance. The terminals were hooked up backwards, on my 80's 25HP Johnson. I was told by my buddy as soon as the terminals were connected backwards there was a loud pop and white smoke billowed from the motor. I took the boat out to run it and make sure all was well, however it wasn't. The motor started right up no problem and idled fine, but when I went to open it up across the lake I only had half the horse power. On my way back to the dock one last time I cracked on it and a short burst of Full horsepower came, however it hasn't returned since. Could someone with more knowledge on motors please give me some input into this problem???? The walleye spawn is on and I need this boat to perform again!!
Thanks-Tom
