Well I'm back with a Boat that just doesn't want to play nice in the water. I have two issue on the PS Engine / Propulsion. 1) The engine gets stuck at 4500 RPM, and won't seem to want to go past. Every once in awhile it will go and run beautifully, then when I stop and get back on it, bam! stuck at 4500 rpm again. Issue # 2) last week ran in for awhile, hoping to fix the 4500 rpm issue , then started to hear a metallic noise from eth same engine, and no propulsion. I went down and found the shaft had come free from the Crankshaft. Without folding myself in half, I was able to feel around a find a large nut loose , around the shaft. I tighten it up and ran for another 20 mins then came loose again. No what boggles me is that every parts chart I find, I cannot see this "nut". I have since pulled the pump housing off to inspect ad nothing jumps out. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thank You
