    1998 Volvo/OMC - When shifting to forward, the motor stalls. It runs fine on muffs.

    Just remember that a prop and exhaust in FOWARD are pushing SOLID water. In REVERSE the prop is spinning in a MASSIVE CLOUD of exhaust fumes. NO hp is needed when boat is floating. Ignition appears to be good. I like the EXHAUST FLAPPERS stuck somewhere.

    Use 2 props. 1 for light load. Other for a crowd. Go to 4' of water. Jump in and change the prop. Havs spare nut and washer if needed. Been there many times.

    New Winch or Winch Strap?

    Why can not 2 people back the boat in just far enough to get it on the boards or guides? Then back in the rest of the way ? I can do it alone. With a person in the vehicle and a driver in the boat. Both on cell phones. Done
