I have a problem that only happens after 15 minutes or so in the water.
1st time I try to get on plane it works fine, then it doesn't it feels like a prop slipping but I replaced the prop with a new one and the same thing continues to happen.
I changed the lower unit oil it was sort of coffee milk color but no metal shavings on the mag-screw.
I give it full throttle and it starts to slip, i reduce rpm and it catches again. I took the lower unit out and check the impaler and snifter they all seemed fine, there is a lot of play in the rod but I check the forum and apparently that's normal.
Any ideas of what could be wrong? Its very frustrating to have a boat and not being able to use it.
Thanks for any help.
