If we didn't shift any weight to the front of the boat it would die out... I don't think I had any excessive water in the boat I had back washed a few times through the day but I have gotten in the habit of flipping on the bilge before I start the motor.... There isn't any damage to the prop I appreciate all of your help!! I'm just trying to get out of taking to the boat to the shop... I hope it's an adjustment issue...
