Just bought my first boat. 2004 sea ray 180 sport with 3.0 mercruiser alpha one with 150 hours at purchase. Out on the lake today for the second time, put 4 hours on it since we bought it. after an hour on the lake I was pulling the boat up onto a plane and out of nowhere the rpms shot sky high. I immediately backed off and checked the bilge, but everything looked good and engine was running good. I then tried to get it back up on a plane, but you could just feel at some point the rpm were going WAY higher then it should be for the speed I was going. I assumed the prop was slipping on the shaft and just limped it home. Once the boat was on the trailer I peeked at the prop expecting to see a sheared off pin or somehting but everything actually look good (of course i dont really have any idea what im looking at). So now im fearing that 4 hours into my first experience with a boat the outdrive has let go. Any one have any idea what this could be?
