The "pick up" is probably clogged up with debris. Do you have a Mercury or a Volvo engine?

I have a 298 SC with twin 5.7 merc's bravo III's I have experienced this when I have been in a heavy weeded area all I do is stop the boat clear the weeds by reversing the engines (outdrives) This has solved the problem every time Norm

Seamoose, I took my new 180FS out on it's maiden voyage on Saturday and it happened to mine 3 times. All I can think of is when it cavatated taking sharp turns that was the issue. Mine is brand new and I would like to know why it happened as well. Thanks for any assist, Jake

;)
