Just got this motor, took it out on my 14' V-hull.
It ran just fine away from the dock at lower speeds. Opened it to WOT and after a few seconds (mayb 15) it acted like it jumped out of drive. It instantly rev'd way up, I lost forward thrust. I let off the throttle, rolled it back in, and had forward power again.
It ran for two hours just fine at 1/2 throttle.
I have two different mechanics tell me two completely different things. One says that's a classic sheared prop pin.
The other tells me the whole lower unit has to be rebuilt.
Any way to easily tell which it is?
Thanks!
