was out in the boat yesterday and noticed the engine laboring and not able to go full throttle even though the lever was in full throttle
I suddenly heard a snap from the motor and all quit
I was unable to start the engine and had to be towed back
At home I was unable to turn the flywheel by hand, removed all the plugs and still no success
I was able to turn the flywheel with a wrench on the nut, but it was tight, it finally loosened up and was able to turn
When I put the gear lever in reverse or forward, the prop would turn, in neutral it would turn freely as it is supposed to
I recharged the battery and even though
the starter engaged the flywheel, it was unable to turn it more than an 1" or so
In removing the plugs I was able to see the pistons? moving in and out
Pls Help
