Just bought the boat, motor will start right away, it will idle
idles in neutral OK, but with a slight exhaust backfire, I was on muffs/hose
and when in gear trying to accelerate motor bogs down/stalls.
Motor will start up again, but same thing happens, as soon as I slip it into FWD/REV gear it stalls.
Also We slipped boat into lake and same thing happened....Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Michael
