I was out the other day and while driving along I lost all thrust from the ski and it made a grinding noise. It stopped completely and if i gave it gas it would just whine and not move..it sounded bad. The only thing that happened prior to this was when i came out from the 5mph zone i gave it gas and at full throttle it would only go 40mph then after a few seconds it would feel like it got kicked in the *** and shoot back up to 60's. This happened a few times so i started heading back and thats what i got stuck.
The only thing done was I replaced the prop and inake grate about 5 hours ago (been out about 4 times since). When I took out the prop to inspect everything looked good, but the teeth on the end of the drioveshaft were worn down bad...now keep in mind i had it out about 5 hours prior and the teeth were perfect with almost no wear. Any ideas?
