I posted earlier about not being able to go over a certain speed without the motor over revving and sounding like I was caught on weeds. The general concensous was that the prop was spun. I followed the instructions and marked the prop in relation to the shaft, ran it a few times and checked everytime, the marks never changed so not a spun prop. On my way home last night I noticed that the transom is a little soft and when I try to go fast the motor tips back slightly so I adjusted the motor so that when the boat is stationary the motor tips forward slightly, when I go fast the motor cowling is level with the boat. I only got to test this once but it seems to have worked. Does this make any sense? I obviously need a new transom. The only reason I can see this working is because with the old setup when the motor was tipping back I think the motor was pulling water from the surface and along with it air causing the motor to over rev.
Thanks.
