Hi,
I have a 1986 Evinrude 150 HP V-6. When idling, the boat sounds fine. When I give her the throttle, she starts to build up. As the boat starts to build up speed (as I am easing the throttle) and gets near climbing out of the hole, the engine jumps RPM's and sounds like it is going to red-line, then "catches", and the boat planes off and starts to move out. Obviously this is not right. Is this a problem with the prop catching or a problem internal to the engine or something wrong with the hull? Suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
