Then isnstruggled to start. When it did start it would idle for about 10 seconds then shake and shut off again. What the heck!?!?!? Team Wolfs

They should have done a full checkout of boat and then done another one with you. Problem should have been found before hand Originally Posted by lakeforkfisherman I can backlash toilet paper.

Sounds like some of you never bought a new boat before. Sure take it to the dealer but no need to chew on them.

It was a little crazy steering the opposite of normal to get it back on the trailer. The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach
