hi i have a pontoon that i rebuilt and this outboard. i have a mechanic background but this outboard is killing me.. it runs good but at first i thought i had a prop hub going bad, so i replaced it and all was good or so i thought, once i was able to run the boat i thought i felt prop cavitation, i have raised and lowered the unit i added a doel fin just to see if i could change anything. after several weeks i hit bottom and bent the prop, i replaced it and with the new prop i thought i fixed it, but when the unit is cold it seems to work well and the more i use it the worst it seems to get. my question is... can there issue i feel be the lower unit? it gets so bad all i can do i idle in, but the next day its alot better for a little while. any suggestion is appreciated, i am going in circles... thanks roger
