Subject: [Baba-L] What's slipping

I had a strange experience when I was motoring on Lake Washington last
weekend. Situation; no wind, engine about half power and I pushed
forward the throttle. Boat started accelerating at first, then the
feeling of total loss of power(boat slowing) with the sound of an
increase of engine rpm at the same time. If I was in a car, I would say
the clutch is slipping. I backed off the power and went back into my
slip without further incident. What could have been slipping? I have
noticed the F-N-R lever is sluggish and it is sometimes difficult
finding neutral.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Don
