Ok Second trip out was fantastic, that thing zips across areas with literally no water in them. AMAZING. I got it stuck in a BAD way in a creek to narrow to turn the boat around and had to reverse in a hurry. I totally blew it and forgot the to put in the reverse block (manual tilt). It kicked up alot and got me unstuck, but my question is is it possible that I did damage to the tilt mechanism? It appears to be working ok, but when I got unstuck the trim wheel looked like this. Notice the nut so far from the wheel. I didn't notice it until i got home, and then I moved the nut back down to the trim wheel and worked the wheel back to the bar so it looks like this now. Did I mess something up? or did the bolt just work its way loose? Thanks in advance for helping this idiot out. |

My other question is would that fuel filter you see in the photo hamper the fuel flow to the motor? On the way out motor ran great, on the way back, it would loose RPM's once in a while, and if i pumped the ball it would go back up to normal. I have heard some guys put an electric fuel pump in the line if you go through a filter, what do you all think? |

Dont have a manual trim, but it looks like your fine on question 1. Regarding your second question, you've got air getting into your fuel line. I've had the same problem with my PDs. Make sure you have hose clamps on all your fuel line connections. If that don't fix it, just run direct from your fuel filter to your tank. |
