Went out for a cruise yesterday. Everything went well, did 75 miles.
Until........Let Lulu drive for a bit, just cruised across the lake at varying speeds from 30-60 mph, just to give her her first lesson in driving. Went well.

We stopped about 1000 yards from the entrance to the inlet that leads to the ramp. I took over and idle most of the way in. I decided to speed up some and when I put the throttle down, the boat started to move and then some kind slippage occurred and the boat would not go faster regardless of rpms. Slowed back to idle and tried it again, and again. Nothing.

Fortunately, the boat still moved forward in gear and I idled back to the dock.

Things look for?? Check the rubber hub on the prop. If that is OK, pull the drain plug and check the fluid for filings???

Sound like the correct first steps??? Suggestions appreciated.
