SO last week we loaded up the rig and headed for Beaver lake in Arkansas, we met up with my buddy and his wife at a cabin just out side of Eureka Springs. The first day we where there I broke the boat within 20 min. Here is what happned.
Unloaded the boat into the water, turned on the CD player, took off and drove around for a little while slowly, then ran both engines up to 5500 rpm, the boat did great, sounded perfectly normal, after running at pretty high speed for about 7 min, one engine dropped down to about 4000 rpm, i slowed the port engine down and attempted to get the starboard engine to speed back up, when it wouldn't speed up, I cut throttle on both engines. The starboard engine died instantly, while the port engine remained idle. I then killed the port engine. After checking my impeller and grate for obstructions I attempted to start the starboard engine. All i heard was the starter try to pull it over. It acted like the engine was seized or something. I pulled the plugs, and the engine began to turn very slowly, I put the boat back on the trailer and headed back to the cabin. The engine has no water in it, and i have put some oil in each cylinder in an attempt to free it up. I took the head off and watched the engine turn over, it appears to be moving fine, but acts seized. I wanted to remove the impeller shaft from the engine thinking my pump may be froze but have not been able to figure out how to do it.
Anybody heard of a problem like this?
