Hi Everyone,
Just put my Yamaha F80 into the water in June and something happened. It went from full throttle to puttering with a whining noise, then quite. Could not get it started.
Back at the dock we compression tested the cylinders and all came up golden. Got it started but there was an almost grinding noise coming from it.
Out of the water found that when it was in neutral the prop would not turn, like it was still in gear. The lines look good and are moving but something has it stuck. Have not tried to start it since.
Any quick ideas or things to look at?
Doug
