I just got back from the lake...with the trolling motor<br />>charged this time!!! Same problem: I did two runs stopped<br />>the boat for fifteen minutes between each run and on the<br />>third one, the motor was harder to start but started. When I<br />>tried to put the motor in gear to move forward it died!<br />>everytime I tried. So to to summarize: I get plenty of<br />>power when pushing the handle in neutral back and forth:<br />>but when I try to switch in gear, no power, the engine dies!<br />> I have new tank, new hose, two rebuilt and clean carburators,<br />>new spark plugs and still the same problem! I talked to Ron<br />>this afternoon: he thinks it maybe a short somewhere and<br />>may be something in the starter box (where the handle to<br />>shift and run the boat is located);could be electrical or<br />>air leak somewhere! What do you think?<br />><br />>So much for good news... Any idea where I should be looking?
