Hi folks,
I recently just bought a new 15hp Manual Mercury fourstroke. I took is out a day ago and everything was running fine. Today i went to the lake and started the motor up fine. While in reverse i did not see a rock and hit it with the prop. I was not moving that fast at all and the engine cut out. I attempted to restart the motor multiple times. The motor tried to kick over a few times but i believe i may have flooded it? I also was reading something about the shear pin and that it can break when you hit a rock. Does anyone have any advice on how i should proceed?
Thanks a bunch
Chad
