Couldn't fish today but it was just to nice to stay on land. i had a few hours to kill so I took a ride out to the outer islands.
Sat and watched some boats do nothing, and decided to head elsewhere and catch some rays. Pushed the throttle to 3/4. within a few seconds the engine slowed way down, then i heard the overheat alarm and saw the warning light. shut her down real quick and raised the engine to find a mass of trash bag wrapped around the entire lower unit. Thats when i got the real sick feeling !!! (in my wallet).......
Got it all cleared, waited 1/2 an hour for the block to cool and started her with my fingers, toes and everything else crossed. EVERYTHING WAS FINE
That S.L.O.W. overheat feature is a lifesaver (powerhead saver)..
What is it?? Speed Lowering Overheat Something ????
Whatever,,,,,,
Ran her for more than an hour everything normal, so I went back in and thanked evinrude for that SLOW feature !!!!!!!!
