| Post subject: | MB 45 Mag strange clutch issue |
I have a 2010 mud buddy 45 mag with about 180 hours. I was on the river yesterday and ran for about 30 minutes to the duck hole no problems. Finished hunting and start to head back to the ramp. About 5 minutes in to the ride the clutch disengages itself. This happened multiple times at WOT. I try putting along at 2,000 rpm and the clutch will stay engaged for anywhere from 5-10 minutes then will disengage. Try WOT a couple more times and clutch disengages after about 10 seconds. I limp back to the ramp at 2,000 rpm with the clutch disengaging intermittently. While on the water I opened up the football to check connection at the clutch switch and everything seemed fine. Could the switch be going bad or does this sound like a bad clutch? Any other suggestions? Thanks. |

Sounds like wiring. Inspect wiring to clutch, might even pull clutch cover to inspect the wiring where it goes through the frame. |

Check switch, had 2 go bad on a GTR, if that switch ain't 30 amp rated, replace it with one that is. An electrical coil engages the clutch, a coil is nothing more than a piece of wire, in other words almost like a short. Yes it will heat up any bad or questionable connections. |

Check the clutch mounting bolt. |

Sounds like a short in the wire harness some where. Since you checked the football area, pull cover and check inside the belt box and see if a wire hasn't been rubbed bare. Also check closer in the football. Those wires are stuffed in there pretty tight. |

Talked to Boat Dr. and got a new switch and relay headed my way. I'll also pull the cover and check the wiring to the clutch. Hopefully one of these things fixes the issue. Thanks. |
