The exhaust elbow at the engine, it can get constricted - like an artery. Which restricts the ability of exhaust gas to get out, thereby cutting your RPM. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11 jackson maddux wrote: Kim, could you please elaborate on item #4, the mixing elbow? Where do

To clarify: 1. exhaust smoke looks just fine, as does the amount of water splooshing out 2. The powdery/rubbery stuff was only in the bilge. 3. We actually dove on the boat, so no fouling of prop and no excessive marine growth to account for the slowness. 4. The alternator and water pump belts were

When I had a similar problem, we found the propeller was totally fouled - even though the bottom wasn't that bad. A prop that is nothing more than a wad of sea food is not good for motoring. Would count for the vibration and lack of performance. Get under the boat and take a look. You may be d

Hi Jackson, As Joel points out... exhaust smoke is a key indicator here. If it doesn't show black then we usually can rule out and overload/overfuel problem (fouled prop, fouled exhaust mixer, fouled air filter, etc.) A clean exhaust and not making RPM is hope for the best and change the fuel

Black powder, rubber smell and charge light point to a loose or defective drive belt. Could be a rusty engine drive pulley causing the belt to wear. Not unusual in a boat. The running problems, vibration, low rpm etc. could be a fouled prop. Plastic bag, line or mussels. At least have a close
