"Ok, I know you see comments and wonder, why in the heck does this guy own a boat, and I'm probably him!
Anyway here is what happen. Today on the lake I was pulling a skier and when he went down, I pulled over to pick him up.
When I went to start up the boat, it made a loud thump like it was locked up.
Freaked me out. I tried it two more times, messed with the throttle and moved it around, and it started.
Before if it wasn't in neutral, it wouldn't even try to start.
I was hoping that was the problem, but I am really not sure. It ran fine after that, but I pulled it out of the water anyway and took it home.
When I was still in the water, I took the engine cover off and It was like the outdrive sounded like engine was locked up or something.
Am I in serious trouble or what!"
