Had a small issue today with the reverse. Brake lever would get spongy then the reverse would not work. The next minute, it would work. I fugured I blew the brake line or had air in the brake system. After a while the reverse just quit. After about ten minutes going back to the ramp, I had full pressure on the break lever and it worked fine. When I got home I checked for any leaks, nothing. I bled the brake for air but it didn't seem to have any. I added and flushed with new fluid (dot 4) and it seemed to work fine. Any suggestions. Don't say call "Gator Tail", I did and had to leave a message with no returned call.

The motor was trimmed down all the way. I've used the reverse a bunch of times like this and have not had this issue.

I've only seen it get like that if there was a leak or low fluid level.

I'm hoping it just had a burp of air in the system. I've used the reverse like a mad man. I felt naked without it. I was called to pull someone else out and right away it started acting up. In turn, I had to pull my boat out (not with a rope). Some nasty crap where we were at.

Do you trailer your boat with the handle up or down !! I have noticed s few times from hitting bad spots in the toad my handle jumps up and stay in the up position and that happens!! My point is don't trailer it in the up position unless the reservoir is completely full
