I just graduated to trying out my new (to me) boat in the water today an I'm experiencing an issue where the motor is not putting out enough power when in Forward. In neutral, it revs normally and idles very well, and if I put it in neutral in that one spot where the motor thinks it's in forward, I can get plenty of RPM's. However, when I shift it into forward and give it full throttle, it does not want to go. I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting as it is running fine in the trash can in neutral.
Is it a bad idea to run it in the trash can in gear?
Both of the ignition coils have a crack in them. Would that cause the lack of RPM's when in forward gear?
Thanks again for your help. I would not have made it this far without this fantastic forum.
Attached are what the coils look like.
