In this forum, we do not need to know what type boat you have, we need to know the following to answer your questions with any kind of specific information.

1. Engine year, make, type, Full Model number, or a serial number if possible.
Giving only the year does not help, as that is the year of the boat and not always the year of the engine and drive package.

2. Type and model of outdrive, Merc, Volvo, OMC, etc. Unlike automotive, boat manufacturers do not make the engines, they buy them from.

3. EXACTLY what it's doing wrong, worded correctly and with proper punctuation so we can figure out the question.

4. PATIENCE to do the testing procedures given.

5. State your problem in the name of the topic. Don't clutter up your request for help with HELP!!! or PLEASE!!!. We know you want help. Tell us what kind of help you need.
