[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 441147, member: 12995"] Sounds like something could be aerating the water going through the pump. It will make it feel like it's "slipping" when it revs and you don't get thrust. Check the intake again for any debris and look close at the impeller to make sure there isn't a damaged edge. Also check the output side of the pump to make sure nothing get stuck in there. Also check the bottom of the boat to see if there is any damage that could cause it to disrupt clean flow into the motor. Are you using it in water that has a lot of weeds? That will cause issues as well. We had a couple of days last summer after a heavy rain that broke a lot of eelgrass loose and it all came floating down the river. I couldn't even get 50 yards upstream from the dock because I kept sucking up the grass/weeds. I gave up and came back 2 days later and everything was fine. [/QUOTE]
