    Default Motor trouble


    Went fishing today and as i was running uplake and it was like my prop lost a bite on the water. The motor never changed tone nor did it overrev it simple lost speed. It would go back to running normally after a few seconds. I fished for 8 hrs and when i went to leave it wouldn’t crank had to be toed in. It behaved like a dead battery. Would turn over a time or two then started clicking. My motor is a 2013 f115 Yamaha. Any advise is appreciated. All my electronics including tilt, trim, and jack plate were working normally. I only used my helix 5 on the bow and i did not run the aireator. I posted this on the mechanics forum. But were i live (hattiesburg area) i know no one that does marine repair and the motor is still under warranty. Any ideas. I don’t mind hauling it an hour or two to get it fixed.

    Starting with the simple stuff, have you checked the battery cables to make sure they haven’t loosened?

    I had a similar issue this summer. Was a bad coil pack. Easy diy fix.

    You stated that the motor is still under warranty, if so you should take it to your nearest dealer and let them repair it. Just my opinion.
