The engine performed fine. I just noticed before I pulled it out for the season me and one other person was on it and I had it up to about 4800 rpms and only going 20 mph and really couldn't get the bow to come down. At this point I noticed that it slipped out of fear, I took it out of gear on the throttle, it did go back into gear once I got the rpms down. I'm hoping I just spun the hub but I'm leaning towards to just upgrading my lower unit to a bravo 3...
