It goes well at low speeds, but then when I try to crank the power up, it slows down and gets really loud and sounds like it's over revving.

It used to work fine until I hit a rock. It even worked fine for a while after I hit the rock. I actually have no idea if the problem is even related to hitting the rock. I just thought I'd throw that out there.

I got a new prop and that's not the problem.

Any ideas?

I'd truly appreciate any help.

Thanks

I'm FINALLY getting around to fixing this thing.

How do I disassemble the motor to get to the gearbox?

Thanks
