Welp the dreaded water hazard.... hit us. <br />Going thru channel no wake, got a towel around the lower unit. Prop shredded it. But it shut off the water or slowed it. It did go into limp mode. and Shut down when it got hot. It has done it several times since then. <br />Whats the chance that we blew a piston? <br />IF you loose a reed valve will you have lower compression or limited on a clyder? <br />It turned over slow and harder but did start. <br />Thinking brain box possibly? <br />Just throwing things out here... We have had a terrible year. Dropped #5 in our 350hp block also.

Re: 200 Rude Ocean Pro

Ya know, there could be junk from that towel stuck in the water intake. I'd check that first. Clear that away and you may get off cheap on this.<br /><br />If it sucked strings from the towel up into the impeller, you may have restricted water flow elsewhere. To check that, you'll have to pull the lower unit.
