J90TSL engine
A couple of weeks ago while returning from a day out at sea we thought we hit a log or something in the water. The problem is that it kept happening every couple of minutes or so. I finally realized that the engine was shaking each time this happened. Someone recommended I check the fuel/water filter. Well the 98 SeaPro 170CC did not have one installed so I installed a canister filter. A local mechanic also suggested I check the gear/ throttle linkage and adjust it to the point where the gears engage shortly after moving off of neutral. I adjusted this a little but the problem is still occuring. The mechanic described the symptoms exactly how they were occurring so he has seen this before. Anyone ever experience this? I am spending more time working on this thing than I am enjoying the water this summer.
Thanks in advance.
