Default moter went weird

i was running wot this morning in a predawn time frame across a mirror smooth lake running straight with the yammy trimmed to fly. when i hit something -belive it was grass- the moter sounded just like i cut the wheel hard. when i did not and started to blow out. i thought i lost an ear at first. i stopped with a flash light trimmed the moter out of the drink and checked there was nothing on the prop nor was it loose-boy was i happy when i counted 3 ears-.. would weeds cause this blow out/prop losing bite?? at wot which is about 5300rpm with the ss prop..

I am not sure about running at WOT but up here every time your boat goes in the water you are going to hit weeds. I got into some when running about 50% and I thought the prop had fallen off. It just felt like it didn't want to go anywhere when I revved it up. Just slow down and throw it in reverse to clean it, ready to go again.

Put your moter in reverse this should clean the grass off, if thats what it was.

Yea zook my good friend weeds will do that almost as quick as a thrown ear will (But alot safer). I have been running in excess of 60 when I caught some weeds before and almost went in the drink from the sudden drop in speed and the inbeleivable right hand turn she makes.
