Yes. It would have to be missing a blade to do what it does in the water. But, the trick is, the condition can be replicated in the driveway after I wet the drive shaft and cutlass bearing. It can happen as soon as I put it in gear, and if not then it will do it when I carefully apply some pressure to the drive shaft coupler with my boot.

Nope, I know it's OH and all but there is still a little wait list. I had to drop it off Sat for a Tues eval. I'll let you know.
Here's to keeping it under 12 hours to remedy eh? ![]() |

I still think you might want to check the damper plate. I suspect the sound you are hearing when you engage the transmission and the backfiring are separate issues.
Hopefully it's not too expensive or too long before you get the boat back. Bruce

Have you checked to see if the strut wobbles? If it doesn't, with the keys in your pocket, sit on the ground or a blanket, facing the prop. Grab the prop (wear gloves to avoid cutting your hands) and rotate the prop quickly. It should move smoothly with no additional sounds.

Ryan, If you get it back in the next week a few families are getting together at Alum Creek.

I do regret not replacing the shaft packing while I had the floor up and all. I still wonder if the timing is off and that putting the transmission in gear is just enough resistance on the crank shaft to miss a spark here and there. I don't have a timing light and have never used one. But, lack of experience hasn't held me back before. I figure I'm at least as smart as the guys in the shop, if they learned how so can I...as long as I have time. Plus, my wife started saying she wants to hurry up and get on the water twice a week! |
