I have a 1993 Evinrude Ocean Pro, 225. Put the boat back in today to go fishing. I'd be travelling at about 5500 rpms and it would bog down, but not stall out. I would bump it back into neutral, and start again. If I went from neutral to wot, it would bog, but if I slowly moved it up to 4000 rpms it would be fine for a while, and when I tried to bump it up more, it would eventually bog down again. I also noticed while it was bogging down, it had the feeling that it is right on the edge of taking off and bogging down, almost like on a dirtbike when you hold it on the edge of the powerband. On the way home, it sounded a little muffled, like it was being choked, and wot was only 5000 rpms? I have no clue. It was a very disappointing trip.
For anyone who read my last post from before I went out, the reverse is messed up. I've never had any problems before. My reverse worked when I just got on the water, then when I got to my spot, it didn't work, just sounded like it wasn't going into the reverse gear. Then, just before I left my spot, it would go in reverse? Very strange. Any comments or help is appreciated!
