We stopped at the crappie masters weigh in at big sandy. . Please don't ask vonna or paul about their boat or how they did. Might get something thrown at you.

Slab,
You can fill us in, we won't tell them it was you that told us. :biggrin
Don't exactly know. But I heard something about having to use the kicker motor, and only going 5 mph. Praying it ain't something big.
I have my fingers crossed.....hope its just minorQuote:

chocolate pudding yummy...............hope the boat problem is a simple fix
Slab it was nice to meet you sorry didn't have any big fish for you to take s picture of but on the brighter side I did have one happy 3 year old boy when I got home he was glad to see daddy
It was good to see you, Ed. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
It was definitely not one of our better days, that's for sure. We took off from the no wake zone and just gotten planed out and lost power, then lost more power and then it died. No smoke, no loud noises, no alarms. Plugs weren't loose and there was plenty gas in the tank. Unfortunately, it's gonna be a month before the service guy can get us in. Hoping it's something like the fuel pump but worried that it may be the power head. :dono
Thoughts are with you. Definitely sounds like a bad start to the season. It could be electrical also.
Hopefully it turns out for you. A month sounds like a long time just to get it checked out. Not knowing is the worst part.
It is a good thing that you had the kicker, they can be a real life saver at times.
Good luck with the motor. Missed ya here in MO Slab. What a great camp!
The first reduction in power could have been the electronics putting the motor in limp home mode.
The shutdown could be fuel, or ignition related.
Hope it is something simple.
Sorry to hear that Paul and Vonna. Never puts a smile on your face when you have boat issues. Hope the news is not too bad.
hope fer the best sweete
Keep us posted Vonna. Praying for you and Paul's bank account. lol
That stinks Vonna! What kinda motor y'all running now?
Badbrad, it's a 2006 model 200 hp Evinrude e-tec.
Thanks dpisani! I'm afraid the wallet is definitely gonna need prayers! We're hoping for the best and planning for the worst.
Hope it's something simple
