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.

mine did the exact same thing yesterday, i was stuck in some cattails and using reverse very vigorisly, i didnt have time to call kyle today, let me know if u fins something out.

Low on fluid.

The gd runners are gonna be all over this in a minute

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.

It got a Lil air in it!!

Thats what i told him but i guess he didn't believe me!

One did the same it was air

Oh well just some more stuff that is going to be saved on Giga's computer

it was hot... it does that sometimes when you have to use it alot.. after it cools off its fine.. And it dont take long to cool off

Uh yea thanks for letting me hook to ya and winch out. I gotta start looking where im going and stop videoing my RPM's and prop. That ends with you 20 foot up on the bank and SOL.

Like others stated you have air in the system or low on fluid.

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
