Twitch, I think our motors were acting similar. I think mine is finally fixed. I took it to a top notch Evinrude guy and he found the my back was bad. And that my stator was also bad which burnt up my last pack. Just to give you some food for thought. I had my EET changed out right before I had to change both stator and pack. After lots of $$$ the Rude is running strong... (atleast so far)

just bought all new bowls to try that and will take it from there
