Hey guys
I have a question
My motor seems to spin out at times. I can be running down the lake at 5k. Rpm and all is good then for some reason the boat quits pulling and rpms go up. I replaced the bushing in the prop and it didn't help. Any ideas? Maybe lower unit?

Rick, does yours have the flo torque hub with the plastic insert. If so it could be you don’t have the prop nut quite tight enough. Those things have to be torqued pretty tight to hold.

Check termostat. For being stop up
If the hub is good, I'd say that the motor is either mounted too high or trimmed out too far. Allowing the prop to ventilate. I'm still trying to figure out if the comment about the thermostat was serious or if it was a blinker fluid kind of thing.
I didn't understand the thermostat question either but what is blinker fluid? Did not understand either comment.
