Probably jumped timing and maybe even sucked some water into one of the cylinders. Pull all the plugs out and see if you can turn over the engine. Good luck

Pach-bang-a

I had a gimble bearing go bad and it grabbed the yokeshaft.
Now beleive it or not the motor wanted to start but wouldn't turn over fast enought to light.
I put both batteries on it and literally stripped the yoke splines........oh she started right up then.
It did this all of a sudden....no warning.

Motor's that jump time miss fire......motors with water show signs in dipstick.
Motor's that are blown have big holes to show you.

sooooooooooooo true

"Hi, my name is Russ and I own a boat"

i told ya that thing was a junker.. but no, you said it ran 83 on the speedo..only kidding, that sucks... hope you work it out.... dave

THANKS, GOD!!!

Pulled the drive off and it cranks, drives locked up bigger'n chit.

Oh man, am I relieved. A drive rebuild I can afford, had the motor been gone I'd a been pontooning all summer.

good

That's strange , the way it went . Everyone that I've been on made a dull boom , shook the boat like you hit somethng and the rpm's took off
(I've seen uppers , lowers and universals go )
