hydrolocked ?

[jwkoehn]

gm 350 v8 bravo3 dealer says I hydrolocked it at boat launch. I do run it onto the trailer w/ engine power . could this be the problem? This is a 24 ft boat. If so how do I avoid this issue in the future?

Re: hydrolocked ?

to determine if its locked pull the spark plugs and turn it over.

As far as driving it on the trailer causing this it is possible. Ramp angle and lack of flappers would be a factor.
If your trailer is anywhere the end of the concrete on the ramp you shouldn't power load due to washout of the end of the ramp.
