I think the clutch between the engine and my outdrive is out. I'm not 100% sure cause I can drive the boat up to 30mph about 3000 rpm but can't get it to pull any higher than that.<br /><br />Several years ago I heard a rattling sound coming from the area where the outdrive and engine join, I asked a boat mechanic and he said that one of the clutch springs was probably broken. <br /><br />The boat ran fine and after I stopped to wait for a friend I tried to take off and it acts like it's cavitating and can't pull out of the hole, I can slowly get up to 30mph but it feels like I'm dragging an anchor behind the boat.<br /><br />I've never pulled an outdrive and don't know exactly what is between it and the motor. <br /><br />Anyone ever experienced a similar problem?<br /><br />Sorry for the long post, appreciate any suggestions.
