...... If the exhaust shutters are burned out, that could hydro-lock the engine, when the stern wake catches up with the boat. It happened to me once when my ignition switch decided to give up the ghost running at cruise speed, the shutters were burned out and the engine cutting off, resulted in a hydro-locked engine....
I'd run it on plane for 5 min, come off plane quickly and blip the throttle just as the stern wake catches up, then cut the engine. ......
Thanks Dan, last summer I installed a new exhaust shutter, I should be ok, I appreciate the heads up though
