Leaving the boat on its swinging mooring on Saturday in the dinghy the outboard lost the drive, regained the drive, lost it ....and so on- frightened the life out of me with the incoming spring flood taking me far from where I wanted to go with a fully laden dinghy with the drive coming and going at will. It took twice as long as normal to get to land and I think doubled my grey hairs!!!!

There is no mention in the handbook about the centrifugal clutch or if it can be adjusted/ repaired etc so my question is has anyone had any experience like this and is there a remedy without invoving a Honda dealer at vast expense?
