[QUOTE="miketheknife, post: 394468, member: 13222"] Purchased a E25RER with an 11x9 prop about 2 weeks ago. Cleaned carb. new impeller. new plugs. sync and link. compression 118# on both cylinders. Ran motor in a barrel, started on second pull, smooth idle. Took it to a local water reservoir for a test run. Had a 12-15 mph wind with a chop. Started and eased out of the n/w zone and ran at about 1800rpm till motor warmed. Boat planed at about 2250rpm and 15mph GPS. 2850 was 19.5mph. At about 3000rpm,the motor started cutting out and the shaft jumped out of the water. I cut the throttle back immediately and the motor idled a little rough for a few second and then smoothed out. I was in 60+ft of water and almost positive I didn't hit anything. Max GPS speed showed 21.9mph. I tried again slowly. At 2940 rpm, felt some vibration, so I backed off the throttle. As long as I stayed at 20mph or less, everything was great. This is only the second outboard I have owned. Could it be the wrong prop? All input will be greatly appreciated, Mike [/QUOTE]
