[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 45069, member: 55"] If it is stuck, you need not worry about an air filter or water pump housing. Neither of those will play a significant role in getting it unstuck (the water pump housing [i]could[/i] have been the reason that it got stuck, but a) that is doutbful, and b) if you can't get it unstuck this time, there is no reason to keep it from getting stuck next time, because there is no next time). I haven't played with Gamefishers that much, but I think I could start you in the right direction. Did you mix the gas and the oil correctly? Was it pumping water correctly? Does the motor have a gearshift, or is it always in forward? If it has a shifter, does it still shift, or is it stuck? If you can get it into neutral, can you turn the prop by hand? I am led to believe the problem is somewhere in the lower unit, which could be a number of things. Lets start there, and then go on. [/QUOTE]
