Hi all. My little Evinrude 25 stopped giving me power at high throttle suddenly a couple days ago. It starts and idles like a champ, all day long, and will push the boat (12.5 foot aluminum floor inflatable) at idle or up to about 5 mph but that is all. The motor will rev up but will not push the boat any faster. Normally this motor planes this boat just fine to an easy 20mph. Reading similar posts suggests to me that it could easily be a carb problem, maybe a clogged high speed jet? I have not rebuilt the carb recently. I want to get some thoughts though because I recently replaced the prop and drive pin (9 x 10.5 prop) and my first thought was that it was a prop problem, though I did remove the prop on the water and the new prop and pin look fine. Also was using a new fuel hose at the time (second use). The boat was running and planing fine for a while then we accidentally hit a shallow sand bar in the water (at low speed) killed the motor and stopped on the beach for a while. No high speed after we started again and none since. Any thoughts?
