boat stalls when put in gear after running fine

Re: boat stalls when put in gear after running fine

I'm currently adrift. Boat runs fine for a while until i stop. Then when i put in gear (forward or reverse) it stalls and wont start back up. After about an hour it starts back up fine. Ive already adjusted lower shift cable and timing.

Any ideas? Also any way ro get it to restart sooner?

If the engine floods in between, just put it in neutral, push the "neutral throttle button", and advance the throttle as far as it will go, then try starting it. It should start, but run rough (rich), gradually bring the throttle back to idle as it starts to clear up.

If you can get it to shift properly, Yes, you could run in reverse on the muffs.

Re: boat stalls when put in gear after running fine

I have not tried clearing the flooded engine but I would if I knew how...Should I be able to test forward and reverse successfully on muffs?

clear flood = throttle wot, no pumping, turn engine over til it fires, back throttle to idle

in order to properly test F/N/R and shift interrupt switch there MUST be a load on the prop, i.e. in the water, not on muffs
