what happened to my motor
Wind was calm last night so I went fishing with the wife.
A few miles down the lake, tried the first spot, nothing, move to the next.
Just getting up on plane and a heckofaracketgrinding noise and the motor shuts down
2010 60hp yamaha
Take it out of gear...turn the key, starter wants to turn but won't.
Tilt up, nothing there...was in 40 plus feet of water.
Electric trolling motor back, luckily a marina was close by to pull into and get a ride to my truck and trailer.
Out of the water and turn the prop in neutral..spins fine...put it in gear and try to turn it and it will not budge at all..stuck right tight, can't even fight motor compression.
Its at the dealer now...lets see what the verdict is
edited to say, yeah, smart ass remarks are welcome except i am on vacation Aug 1st for a week and I need a motor working one way or the other
