I have an RXT 260is that recently had a problem where the intake was completely clogged with junk that got sucked up due to getting to close to some reeds etc. (had no choice as I was in a no wake narrow channel and several sheriff boats came flying through the channel at full speed, lights sirens and all....everyone forced to sides.
Anyway, I had to work my way through the channel and into some deeper water before I could clear out the intake. I tried to take it as easy as possible but it kept racing the engine (like a slipping transmission).
It ran fine for about the next 4-5 hours, but now when I go to start off quickly, it starts going fine, then the engine races, but no speed. Again, seems like a transmission slipping. Engine runs fine, its just not getting the power to the propulsion.....I am thinking its a wear ring issue from the research I have done, but wanted to get some feedback before I tear into it.
Any thoughts?
