So i went duck hunting this morning and my 2001 yamaha 15 hp 4 stroke was running perfect. I ended up hitting a log and the motor shut completely down. Tried starting it and never could get it started to continue. Ended up hunting in my motors choice of spot and only way i could get it started to get back was to push and pull the choke in and out constantly until i could get in gear to get it past idle. What have i done. Also noticed bent skeg under the prop.

if choke is needed then you have a fuel problem.

Do not see how hitting something would cause that , maybe it stirred up some junk in fuel system
