Ran over rope! Won't start :(
 
Took my friend and his son for a quick ride in the new donzi 16. Idling towards dock, my rear rope had fallen in the water, wrapped around the prop and stalled the motor. Idiot move for sure :(

After removing rope, engine will fire up but die instantly no matter if fast idle is used or not, primed or not...
any help would be great.
it is a 2005 merco 5.0L carb, stock
thanks

Alpha drive?? If so - check the shift interupt switch and make sure it's centered in neutral...

I don't know your solution, but that's exactly why my handling lines are floating lines.

Good luck.
