Hello members,
I unfortunately am a new member with a propulsion issue that I have not seen covered in forums yet, here we go. While underway in our 2002 Striper Sea Swirl 2301 W/A, Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI, SX outdrive , we experienced a loss propulsion cruising 23 @ 3100 RPMâ¦loss of forward motion with high RPM rev. We came to a stop and checked for the obviousâ¦throttled up slowly to 1000 RPM with slow forward motion, anything above 1000 RPM, no change in speed⦠prop spins, maintains 4-6 MPH max with RPM's above 1000. We also have good throttle response in reverse. The boat is now sitting in a service rack at the marina awaiting our return after an evening of interweb searching, drinks and rest. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
