Fishrman Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Hey guys, need a little help. Went down this morning and everything was fine, boat ran good, trolling motor was going good on 2 new batteries I put in last night. All of a sudden, I start it up and it sounds kind of different, and the next thing I know the idle is way too high, sounded like it should when I take off. After that I had problems starting it and when it did kick over, it would race at a very high idle. Had to put it on the trailer with the trolling motor. Anyone have any ideas? By the way, caught 4 keeper blacks on spinnerbaits. Biggest was 3 lbs. all others were 2 to 2.5. Thanks for any help.

steveearle Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 My buddy's '07 Pro XS was making a "funny noise" in March as we left PB2 (LOZ) and as we started under the Hwy 5 Bridge it blew. It was the gear case in the lower unit. I am by no means a mechanic, but I have heard that they are replacing quite a few gear cases on the XS. I believe his was a seal that broke and took in water. Have no idea if this will help but I figure I would add my .02, in case it is a newer Pro XS.......
