I Have A 1981 Galaxy 165 I/o Board, I Was Runing About 3500 Rpms And Was Trimming Motor , Trimed To Much And Motor Started Racing Because It Came Out Of Water, I Know There Is A Name For What I Did But I Dont Rember What Its Called But When That Happened I Throttled Back Quickly And Motor Died,when I Started It Back It Would Not Engage In Forward Or Reverse,when I Would Put It In The Forward Position And Increase Throttle It Would Die But Not In The Reverse Position,if Anyone Can Explain To Me What I Have Done And How Costly It May Be Or What My Options May Be It Sure Would Be Appreciated. Thanks, Rockyman
