eary 80's 25hp evinrude
Last year I had an incident where the motor was started in forward, throttle set at mid-range, and the motor lock on release. The motor climbed right out of the water to the stops before I shut it down.
Since then, I can't get any thrust to the prop beyond low idle. The engine revs up fine, boat moves forward slightly, but no more power to the prop with added rpms.
The shifter seems to be OK, and a local mechanic checked it out as well. He also checked to see if a shear pin (not sure where ...) had been shorn, but all was well there.
After the mechanic determined all was well, I put it back in the water, and seeing the same behavior.
Any ideas?
