Start the motor it idles just fine but when I click it into forward it makes a bad noise and doesn't move. Any idea what could have happened. So we begin our 3 mile troll back to the ramp. Called the carr creek marina and they couldn't tow us so the nice lady called kdfw and the us army corps. I had the CO call me and offer to come tow us but then the us corps showed up. They told me they would follow me but they prefer not to tow unless I'm having to paddle my bass boat. They followed us all the way to the ramp. Any help would be appreciated in diagnosising the problem.
