• Loss of Power or Performance Issues: Reduced acceleration, difficulty getting on plane, or a feeling of the boat being sluggish.
• Vibration or Wobbling: Excessive vibration or a noticeable wobble in the boat or propeller during operation.
• Steering Difficulties: Difficulty turning the boat or a feeling of the steering being loose or unresponsive.
• Overheating: An overheating engine can indicate a problem with the cooling system, which might be related to the outdrive.
• Problems Shifting Gears: Difficulty engaging or disengaging gears, or the boat popping out of gear.
• Visible Corrosion: Rust or corrosion on the outdrive or its components.
