Hey all. Cool website!, has helped me out a ton already. Need some help from you pros. My boat cranks over and runs for about 10 secs. and stalls out. The first time i had it out it seemed to run fine. Then as i had it about half throttle it bogged down, i pushed the throttle about 3/4 down and nothing. then i noticed a little smoke from the exhaust so i shut it down. Looked at the engine a didnt see anything until i looked at the rear and noticed the ruuber tubes coming from the exhaust elbows were compressed in, like they were deflated. A friend recommended replacing the impeller which i did. The old one was trash. I looked at the hoses and could not find any remaing pieces so i thought all is well. And, like i said before had it out today, cranked it over , ran for about a 2 minutes then stalled out. Now it cranks over, runs for about 10 secs then stalls. Its almost the 4th and i'm feending out! Help!
In the immortal words of bartels and james, I thank you for your support.
Chudd.
