Your prop hub is slipping. Get the prop rebuilt. JR BTDT got the T-shirt, too Mike Slater wrote: I was cruising along in my 24ft pontoon boat when I got a real surprise. Somebody please tell me how and why I could be running wide open throttle at my normal 5500 rpm and then suddenly the boat took off like a bat out of hell running at 8000 rpms and 25mph??? I never touched the throttle. It has never run that fast ever. After about 2 minutes it went back down to 5500 and never did 8000 again. Its a 60hp mercury Bigfoot outboard. It has never done this before and I don't even know how it could rev that high and go 25mph. Normal is 5500 and 17mph. What happened?? Mike The boat wouldn't go faster if the prop was spun. |
