Looking for advice on where to start. While cruzing last Saturday the engine RPM shot up and the boat stopped going forward. I immediately idled back. She would not go into gear nor make any shiftin noise (moving the throttle forward or back was smooth, no grinding). There was no unusual smells nor noise. I thought I had lost the prop but did not. Then it started cutting off when I tried to put into forward (the delay switch must have slipped).
After trailoring the boat I shifted into forward then reverse, the prop locked as is supposed to but did not lock solid (I could turn the prop if I tried to).
I have three ideas as to the problem, rang a shaft, clutch burned out or a cable slipped. The first two do no sound like the culprit though.
I should get her into the shop after the next week.
Any ideas would be apreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn
