    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    I didn’t perform a link and sync. I don’t know what that is and I don’t seem to be able to find it online. Are you suggesting that a timing advance will fix the specific issue I outlined? That I can get to full r’s in neutral but not in gear? Sorry I’m new to wrenching and these older motors...

    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    Tried the new prop today and same issue. Boat powers to about 5 mph the Rpms continue but isn’t pushing boat any faster. It is a long shaft on a tall transom. Also checked compression today for fun and it’s 110 on both which should be fine. What else can slip on these between the motor and prop?

    No clicking. Just thought there was a dog that could be not fully engaged but that would make sense it would be making a noise if that were the case. I’ll take the prop in and see what they say.

    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    No damage. Just seems like a slip where prop isn’t pushing water. Figured it was prop hub or shift linkage but I don’t see that the shift linkage is adjustable.

    If the prop hub was bad would I be able to spin by hand while in gear?

    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    I have an 1985 evinrude 30 tiller E30telcoa. Rebuilt carb, new fuel lines etc. replaced water pump and lower seals. Runs great but once it’s in water and under load the prop doesn’t seem to spin with engine speed. Out of water the prop does not free spin while in gear. Is there a shift linkage...
