Despite catching a 22' smallie, last Saturday was a frustrating day. In addition to my boat having a small leak and my starting battery loosing its charge, my Merc was cutting out at idle speed. It operates fine in WOT, but while pulling back trollin and shifting in between neutral and forward the engine would cut out. At first it happened every 5 minuets are so, but then frequency picked up to cutting out nearly once a minute. Other then this new phenomenon the engine works fine. Any ideas on what is causing this and how it might be fixed? Thanks in advance for your help!
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
