Hey Everyone
I was out last weekend and when i went to take off from dead in the water the wheels seemed to either begin to ventilate or the Velvet drives began to slip on what i believe was the port side.. I pulled back quickly on BOTH throttles so I didn't notice if it was just the port that slipped or if it was the pair of them.
I am goint to dive it today and make sure that the shafts are not fouled with vegitation or line or something as i know this could cause it but i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of anything else to look for and then of course if the shafts are clear if there is anything else to check.
How would you go about checking the velvet drives for slippage?
