Hey guys,
My buddy has a 2010 Evinrude Etec 115 with a jet pump on a 19 foot Lowe, it usually goes about 30-40 mph but the last time it was in the water when we were in Houston it wouldn't open up and it would only do about 10 mph. it seamed like it was okay to a certain rpm and then if you kept easing up on the throttle the engine would rev up but it didn't seam to go any faster. We didn't need to go any faster in the situation we were in but want to get this addressed before hitting the water again. We are not familiar with these jet drives and there are no local marinas in our area. Do any of you have any tips, ideas on what we should look at first? Anything that would cause the power to be lost between the crankshaft and the jet impeller like something that would be slipping?
