I don't know that much about o/b's as I probably should....but I have a problem, and b/f I go to the marina (big $$$) I thought I'd try here... I have a 17' Sea Nymph w/ a 60 hp Merc (circa 1985) and tried to take the bride out for a nice lil ride the other nite, now the boat was running just fine earlier...anyway out we went, we were vacationing just off lake ontario, on a small pond w/lake access, and shortly after planeing out (3/4 throttle) the motor seemed to loose power, bog down and smoked a little at the exhaust. I shut it down, checked the prop and found weeds- remove some and restarted- the motor seemed to idle fine, pumped water thru but had no power--- anyway the trolling motor got us back to the dock, my b-i-l looked at the lower unit, said it was weed bound, removed all the weeds and we tried it again--- start fine, idle ok, pump water thru, but again no power, like there's no top end.....any ideas what this affliction might be ?
The intakes seem to be clear, the impeller seems to be ok as the stream starts shortly after the motor starts- but no power ? ? Any help would be greatly appreciated- thanks, Mike

| New to the forum, hi all! Sounds kind of like the problem I had with my '84 Yamaha 9.9. Unfortunately that was a dead carbuerator, hope you have better luck.

| had same problem once.what i found was the prop hub was shot.powered fine at low speed but nothing as the revs went up.check with wrench on prop nut at give prop a really good yank in the opposite direction not to undo the nut.
