I went fishing on the CT river in mass yesterday. On the way back to the ramp, cruising along at near wide open thottle, I smoked a rock or hit bottom somehow. The outboard kicked up, and shut off. She wouldn't fire after that. Made some weird noises inside the motor. it sounds normal when I turn it over but she won't fire. The prop is banged up, no chunks out, just knicked up good..bottom part of skeg is gone. Dropping it off at the merc dealer Tuesday. Wish me.luck guys

That's a bummer.  Good luck.
