I had a new water pump installed in my 40Hp merc 2 stroke tiller. The first time I launched my motor started fine but when I shifted into gear "nothing". I took it back as I figured the linkage had not been hooked up to the gear case. Got it back & upon launching today the motor labored & barely moved the boat. Could get high rpms in neutral but not in gear. Anyone know whats wrong?
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.
