Hey everyone,
I have a 2022 ATX Type 24s with the Raptor 440.
The other day I was out cruising around all day and no issues at High or low speeds. Was able to take it out of the slip no problem. Came back in to dock it for the night and as I got to the dock the prop stopped spinning. Generally I'm putting it in forward and reverse to dock it as it's a tight spot and we all know steering under low powere with an inboard is fun. I've never had issues up until this point.
This time as we got into our marina the prop completley stopped spinning. Engine revs fine in forward an reverse, but no movement. Almost sounds like it's in neutral, but it's not.
I went under and check to see if there was anything caught in the prop, but there's nothing there and the prop spins by hand. I haven't taken it out of the water yet as this is going to be a project if the prop isn't spinning.
Any ideas of what might be wrong that I can check? I haven't been in the engine bay yet to see if anything got dissengaged but looking for some guidance on issues I can check out first before pulling it out.
Thanks,
Frank.
