Last time I used my boat, I got caught on a submerged dock near the boat ramp when putting in. Finally worked my way free and proceeded up stream for 30-45 minutes no problem. A bit of scraping heard on that dock but very little superficial damage to skeg and prop when pulled out. It's been a couple if months due to work travel and today was first day since.
Traveled at idle speed the several miles down to main Ohio river after off load and then planed off to about 35 mph for five minutes then got missing and loss of power. Idled back, all ok. Can idle all day long...and did, but above about 2000 rpm missing and loss of power. No audible alarms and only gauge anomaly is low temp...say 125F, although the scale is not linear so hard to tell. Will pull out first thing tomorrow and visually inspect, but don't really expect to see anything. Thermostat and impeller replaced during the off season.
Any ideas or speculation welcome, but this looks like the end of my very short season...
Bummed.
