"Have 1996 PCM 5.8L with PCM M
"Have 1996 PCM 5.8L with PCM Model 40 1:1 transmission. Last weekend, went for about a mile or 2 then tried pulling a skier. Engine sounded like it was running fine but no power to prop. Put it in neutral, then tried to get on throttle again and engine rev'd but nothing happens. Same result in forward and reverse. Shut off engine for a few seconds, tried it again and it works. But I didn't try to get on it again, just went back to ramp and loaded up (didnt want to get stuck out on lake with family). There is transmission fluid in hull. A couple people I spoke with suggested overheating transmission and fluid gettin blown out. Engine runs at right temp according to temp gauge. Oil cooler appears to not be plugged and water is in hoses. So, I am guessing an oil pump in transmission is bad? Any ideas? Thanks."
