My brother has an older lund ’90-’94 with console. He has an older rebuilt 40hp motor on it with no power tilt/trim. I dont’ know much about boats at all and he hasn’t talk to a mechanic yet, so trying to get some feedback first. The motor works good, starts up fine and runs good ate low to medium throttle. But at full throttle it starts to jerk on and off. What would be the problem here? Is it the motor? The jerk sort of goes away when you reach max speed but comes back here and there. If you lower the throttle just under max its find again.
I also wanted to know if anybody has tried them power tilt/trim kits and if they are worth it. Thanks.
