Mercury 60/45 jet problem

[Dlhuntz]

I think I sucked a rock or somthing into the pump. I turned the motor off and tried clearing the debris. I didn't visibly see anything, but here is what my motor is doing: It operates fine a idle and low speeds, but when I throttle up it seems like the impeller is slipping. The rpms go up but the motor will not bite and take off.

I don't know if there is some type of sheer pin on the impeller or what.

I thought I would get some advice before I started ripping things apart...

Any help would be appreciated!!

You must have sheared the shear key. page 62 of your owner's manual will show you how to remove the impeller. You will have to order a new key. mrous88@hotmail.com
