The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I was driving my boat at full throttle the other night and completely lost forward thrust. Motor runs great, reverse and neutral are fine but no forward gear. I can't even sense it shifting into gear when I put the throttle forward.

Guys, do I really need the primer solenoid? I broke the fuel line nipple and can't fix it. I capped off the fuel lines to and from this thing and the motor starts and runs fine. I've never had to use the primer before, even when the motor was cold, because it would actually take longer to...
