I have a Suzuki $hp outboard that I use on my Zodiac dinghy for my sailboat. At the end of last season the engine would not transmit more than about 10% power to the propellor. The handle turns the accelarator over at full revs- but the engine just revs at full volume - of both noise and power- but very little power is transferred. I have checked the rubber splinds in the propellor and the pin and both are ok- A friend examined the inside of the motor for me but could come up with no solution. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the problem may be and how I fault diagnose to get the fix in so I can run the engine again- I have been variously advised it amy be a " dog clutch"? problem or a transmission problem? I don't have a manual yet? Are there any online I can access please? Many thanks if you can help.
