okay, so this boat motor has been doing this for awhile but every now and then it doesn't.
so the engine has been doing this since I've owned it, what happens is the engine runs and sounds kind of funny, it will be real shaky and jerk every few mins/seconds and sound like it wants to die, sometimes it does die. Also, i can't go very fast because it will rev up really high and the prop wont spin.
I took it out last week and the engine ran like it was brand new the whole time i had it started! I got it out the week before for the first time for the year and this also happened. I had it running for about 30-45mins. I was really amazed, i have a 14 ft aluminum v-boat boat. My 2 friends and I that weighed a total of probably around 600lb's and still it went as fast as it could, lifted the boat up with no problem, but we dropped the anchor for about 4 hours and when i started it back up got going a minute up the river, it started to sputter, act real funny and i couldn't go fast anymore.
The shear pin is not broken but the shear pin does not go all the way across the propeller on the inside, should it?
Also, it has some oil leaking out of a hole near the propeller. i have not changed the oil at the bottom the whole 2 years ive had it but i have not had it out but a couple times because of the problem that keeps happening. idk if that could cause it to rev up and not spin the propeller.
Another thing is that it sounds like its at higher RPM's than it should be while running. when its idling it doesn't seem like that. the reason i say that is because when it ran like it was new for the first 2 times ever having this engine it was not as loud.
i really need some help! im posting a lot of pictures because this is my first boat/engine and i would rather have a lot of them then not enough and I've called dealers around and they wont work on it because its to old.
ALSO I DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT FUEL/OIL RATIO SO I JUST DO 50:1. PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS WRONG.
