Post Crazy gdsd problems
So I went a scout yesterday and got stuck on a mud flat and took me about 2 hours to get out. Now the motor doesn't not want to stay in the water not even throwing rooster tail. I can push it down get it to ride right but then it spits it out water. I've messed with trim and seems to not affect it. Also now my motor so backfires it's ass off at random times. Any advise where to start Wouk be nice.

Please keep the bs off untill I get some help

Sounds like a possible trim tab issue.

But would it be to high or to low? Bc it seems like to high at first bc it holding it down and then when I put a little pressure on it to ride right it spits it out

Check exhaust gaskets first if random backfire...

Bend the tabs down, to make it dig a lil bit.

Is the motor stock? Like mentioned already, check for exhaust, as well as intake leaks first.

The prop is only about 2 months old but some of the mud had sand in it so it might of killed it. How do u measure the 3 blades props and what is new and to worn out? Also my tiny tack is screwed up I drive like an hour it reads like 7-10 hours on the tack. I put over 100 hours in 2 days on tiny tack which is impossible lol

2 hours in sandy mud will KILL a prop.

I've ruined them in 20 mins.
