Hey folks. So I read a few posts about engine bogging down, however, I feel my case may be slightly different.
first time out ram awesome. I noticed a lot of water in bilge area. Turned out to be a cracked manifold. So I replaced both manifolds (other was cracked too) and risers both sides.
I also replaced spark plugs and gapped at .35.
changed fuel filter.
Changed the battery
today it started great. Go to get on plane and it’s like I’m towing a freight liner. Lots of vibration and sounds like crap. engine oil looked fine. No water leaks out of anywhere
Any likely culprits ?
also, on our first trip a dinged up there prop on the boat launch when I drove it onto the trailer. No major bends. Just small chunks missing. Could that possibly affect it this much ?
it ran better with two cracked manifolds lol.
