a few weeks ago I hit a log at a pretty low speed(maybe 15-20 mph) but fast enough to jar the motor pretty good.<br />on the way in the overheat siren went off & I shut her down & trailered her right then.I ran it on the hose for about<br />30 minutes the next day & it did fine.next time out it never overheated but I lost almost 10 mph top speed & by the trim <br />gauge the prop loses bite at about half the trim I used to run at wide open.still seem to get the same rpm at wot.the prop didnt <br />have any visible damage and there is no more vibration than there was to begin with.any ideas what might have caused my loss <br />of speed & the trim requirements to reach full rpm to have lowered?thanks
