Hi All, I need your opinion and advice please.
Last week while out and about, I began to open the throttle on my 90 260 OV and once RPM's hit about 2500, I started losing power but the RPMs continued to climb. I thought it was the Prop Coupler, or hopefully not the Engine coupler...as I know that is a much bigger project....:smt013
At any rate, I had my mechanic pick up the boat and take it to his shop, and he says it is neither....but rather says I need a new Cone Clutch??. I am new to this stuff, and having just gotten the boat back 3 weeks ago, after having a new engine installed ....I want to make sure I get some advice from all of you before I take his word for it.
What I would like to know is :
1. Do the symptoms sound like it could be the Cone Clutch? As all others with similar symptoms seem to have had either a Prop or Engine Coupler issue?
2. What should I be expecting to pay for a new Cone Clutch?
Thanks !
