[QUOTE="overboard, post: 273923, member: 6547"] A little more info on my first post. The reason I mentioned this, and it may not be the same, is I told a boat repair shop that I was running up a river and the motor just died, not shut down, but sounded like it was loading up and just wouldn't go back to full power. started twisting the throttle back and forth, from full to idle, and it would take off again, and then go back to no power. finally it wouldn't go to full power at all. they charged me $200 to work on it, and when I took it out it did the same thing, took it back, and that's when they found it was a coil, another $110. they said, you didn't tell us it was doing this when it was hot. what the heck do they think the motors doing when I told them I was running it up the river; getting colder ? worked fine after a coil was replaced, but haven't gone back to them since.
