I sea tested my boat today (see my just purchased thread) and all went well until I got back to my slip. First I noticed that one engine was generating alot more exhaust bubbles than the other. I attempted to tilt the starboard motor and snap! The two bolts holding the tiller arm broke. Can you independently raise or lower a twin outboard? Does anyone know why the tiller broke? Does anyone know why I'm having excessive exhaust bubbles coming from one of the outboards? I replaced the impellers myself could the pump tube be the problem?
