It was a day of mixed blessings today. Got the boat back out after a two month hiatus (lots of crummy weather and other obligations) and got my first Walleye on the lake I was on! but then the motor started to act up in a weird way.
The motor fired right up, and we were off to fish. We got out to our spot, and I went to hit the stop button (the motor is set up with a tiller) and the darn thing wouldn't quit!
I put it back into gear, and lowered the speed to below idle, and it finally died.
I remember the last time I had it out, before 4th of July, 5 had to hold the stop button for a while for it to quit.
With as many problems folks have getting these things going, you think shutting one off would be a snap!
How does the stop button actually work, and what should I be looking for to try and fix it?
We have about six or seven more possible weekends with good weather left, and I would like to get out a few more times, but if the stop button isn't woking, the mrs. will probably shoot that idea down.
Thanks again,
Peter
