Sorry forgot about that. It’s a 25 hp evinrude.What HP?
We’ll see what happened is the pin that locks the engine in on the transom mount that is adjustable fell out. I put it back in the other day, and i don’t know if it was where The pin was in a different hole. It would jump off, and out of water. Welll I figured out which hole to put the pin in for it not to do it. (I thought anyways). Yesterday took it out, and it stayed locked awhile. Stayed locked in reverse. It bounced up twice going forward though. I took it back to ramp, and after it would bounce up. It would lock back in place. I looked at latch. Looks like it has a good hold on the pin.Will it stay down if you don't give it full throttle in reverse ??
