hi all my family has just gotten in to boating soi'm a bit new to boats ect..
we were out fishing and on our way home home and my motor ( 70hp 3cyl 81-82) just cut revs it was going great all day before. i got home and flushed it. it run but was rough and you can turn the motor over by hand of the prop only in revurse if i put it in forward it just makes a clicking sound.


i have done all the normal things water in the fuel spark plugs checked cdi and flushed and cleaned out the carbs. gave it a test and it seemed to go fine but i'm worried about not being able to turn the motor over by the prop when in forward gear it just clicks.
thanks dannat

Re: merc 70 probs

Welcome to the forum. The motor is supposed to do that when you turn the prop by hand.
