I was headed in after trolling (sweet water only) when I pushed it to 4500 rpm and she shut down. It restarted after a few tries but when I was pushing throttle I could hear a rattling of sorts from below the power head to the lower unit in that cowling/shaft housing. I kept it below 3k and made it in. I did power onto trailer. Never had any issues before this. Have had boat for 3 years. All I do is troll or anchor only and run it in the Susquehanna river for flatheads and walleyes.
Any ideas?
I went to the local marina and they told me that yr/make know to go "rattle rattle BOOM" ... yikes!
This engine does NOT have 500 hrs on it.
Are there < 7k new Johnson engines out there?
That marina are strictly Merc dealers although they work on all things.
I rather keep controls unless that is a minor cost to replace.
