Hello all,
I just purchased this 98 Sportster and it ran excellent on test run and ran great for about 5 minutes when we dropped it in the river. Seamed to have great pick up and turned great. I was making a left turn and during the turn it sounded like the motors started over reving without any movement.
I know the boat does not have a transmission but the best way to describe the feeling is what a motor sounds like when it starts to slip the gear. It goes smoothly at an idle and then as you give it gas it starts to accelerate but only to a point and then it just goes into a high RPM and the boat starts vibrating without any movement.
Here is a link to a short You-Tube video of the issue. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Really hoping I didnt purchase a $4,000 paperweight!
Thanks in advance.
Michael
