Hi all,
my boat moves too quickly in idle, what can I do about this? I'm not sure what the prop specs are, I think I have a pic somewhere of the prop from when it was out of the water and the numbers that were on it. I'll see if I can find that but I'm fairly confident that the prop is original to the boat.
The way that i deal with this is by putting the boat into neutral, coasting along, putting it into forward gear for a few seconds and back to neutral. This is when I'm docking and manouvering in tight quarters. I can not coast in idle inside a marina, the boat moves too quickly.
Question: should I get another prop?
Or
Is what I'm doing ok?
The gear shift lever is loose and sloppy, and neutral is very difficult to get just right. The prop is typically spinning one way or the other (albeit very slowly) when I have the boat in neutral. I will open the locker and look at the shaft and tap the lever until I get it stopped. This doesn't seem normal.
