First time out in my Aweome......
After waiting 8 months to try my new toy I took her out Friday. Idled past the pier in Ludington, applied power slowly to climb on plane, then the port motor revs way up like it lost a prop. No gear.. Idle back into the harbor can smell burnt clutch in the engine compartment. Bam Cyborg toasted..... transmission was full of oil still. Any ideas why? I'll post to the drive section too. Was this because it sat for 2 years??
I never test drove the boat, I bought it late last fall, everything else on the boat is excellent.

Randy, got your message... that sucks I know how much you were looking forward to your maiden voyage, hopefully you can get it repaired quickly, I don't know much about transmissions, kinda why I've always had a bravo style boat. I'm sure you will find some answers in the tech section,
good luck, hang in there it will be worth it in the end

No Richard,
I never had any contact. I ended up using a friend, the owner of Precision Power in Spring Lake. He knows them well, and had it done in less than 48 hrs. The clutch pack was gone, toasted and the pump was scored up badly too and had to be replaced. I hope the other one is OK?

Hey John,
I'm getting there, I can idle all day w/out fouling plugs. Did that last Saturday when starboard motor quit. I thought it was another MSD failure. When I went to remove the coil wire from the distributor to test the MSD it just fell off the top of the coil, turned out to be burnt off along w/the coil tower. No one can come up with a reason why the coil tower burnt off. Replaced the coil, now I got a weekend of rain.....
