[QUOTE="aeviaanah, post: 252238, member: 6493"] After work I decided to take the boat out and test the 1962 15HP SeaKing I rebuilt. Launched the boat, motor started up like she is brand new. Let her warm up and put her in gear....well I wasnt moving anywhere. I forgot to put the pin back in the prop shaft, the one that engages the prop as the shaft rotates. Gears were working, motor was running, prop was at a standstill!! Good thing I had my 1.5hp cruise n carry. That got me moving along to catch both a smallmouth and largemouth by sunset. Tossed em back. Good lesson to be learned here, check your motors and prop BEFORE leaving the house...or bring more than one motor! Good night! [/QUOTE]
