Question buddies outboard problem

Did the dusk thing with a buddy this evening...Caught plenty but when we went to come home the engine seemed to slip at 2000 rpm and would not go any further. (nothing on the prop) When you gave her the gas it was like it came out of gear partly...in that it felt like the clutch was slipping in a car.

We limped home at 8 knots but I did not know what it could be. Outboards are either in gear or not there should be no slippage but that is what was happening.

suzuki 225 2 stroke. about 4 years old.


Any thoughts?
