Hey guys, I am by no means a tech or an expert, just a guys who loves to fish. So I took my boat out on the water today for a test run of my new sonar electronics, and the motor was pretty hard to start. I got her going finally (first time in the water since sitting all winter, but it was winterized), went about 100 yards from the dock and she shuts off. Was able to get her started again but as soon as I put it into gear the RPMs would drop down below 1,000 and the motor would die. Starts right up again, but does the same thing if i put it into gear.
If i hit the button and crank the throttle up high when it it in neutral, it does crank up high and seems to work OK like that, but once I put her actually in gear it shuts down.
I was able to get it going a couple of times and ram the throttle hard and she took off, and ran for 5-10 mins ok, but as soon as I throttled back down she does the same thing again.
Big fishing trip next weekend and I need to figure it out asap. any thoughts/help are very much appreciated.!
