Following my last post about flat batteries, now sorted that.
My prop is now fouled. I'm on a tidal river, couldn't pull the rope free so in the water I went and cut a long trailing line free but the ebb current was too strong and holding my breath after numerous attempts I had to call it a day. Engine running and goes into forward and reverse with no issues and took it up to 3000rpm but no wash from the back either in forward or reverse.
No loud clunks or bangs or struggling from the engine at any point.
Would rope still around the shaft result in no power through the prop at 3000rpm either in reverse or forward?
I'm either going to get a tow to our clubs drying posts or considering buying a telescopic saw to see if I can cut the remains from the tender, anyone tried that?
