Hooper I have mixed emotions about Eagle Marine. I was out fishing the bank with wifey and she wanted to walk around P-town so we went in and of course the place was a zoo so we said forget it, as I was leaving the harbor we went to get up on plane and the boat shuttered with a klank sound, I backed right off and lifted the motor looked it over nothing, was like we hit something in the water, so I drop it back in fire it up and try again about 3000 rpm's klank, so I throw down the hammer to get it on plane and it klanks one right after another so now I am like uh oh it's gonna be a long ride home at 2500 rpms and we go off heading home at 10 knots after 45 minutes or so and burning off some fuel I decide I will try and just tap it until we get on plane so I baby the throttle with love taps with a large pause in between and lo and behold I get it on plane and we cruised all the way to the ramp without moving or touching anything. I pulled the plugs and saw some shiney metals not big or anything and the oil was dark and smelled burned .99 225 Ficht, I would guess this season I have close to 100 hours already so I guess I was due for something.
