So I just got a '04 Volvo Penta 5.7 L GI-e with dual props and I was about to hit a sandbar yesterday and I turned away from it and pulled back hard on the throttle and cut the engine at the last second. I'm pretty sure I didn't run into it, maybe I did, it was close. I think the lowest I saw the depth finder was 5.2 feet but the boat did kind of kick up a little. The props already had a little damage from previous owner and it didn't look like I added to it or anything to the bottom of the lower unit.
It started back up but the props wouldn't spin.
Is the issue in the lower unit or could i have done something to the throttle linkage by pulling it back so hard?
Thanks for your help.
Do you want the make of boat? I was trying to avoid that because I owe someone $1000 still on it and they might freak if they knew what I did so I'm trying to avoid it come up on search engines. Long story that no one wants to hear.
It's a 19-24 foot bowrider if I can be that generic.
