The last 2 times I went out my engine seemed to be lagging while it was in gear. If I take it out of gear I can get the engine to rev high rpms. In gear it seems sluggish and after half throttle it seems not to want to rev higher even at full throttle. It doesn't exactly bog down. Forgive my ignorance but I'm new to inboard engine ownership so my terminology might be off but I'm thinking transmission or packing gland (wick?). Where the shaft exits the hull is what looks to be a compression fitting which is super corroded on the outside and has probably has never been serviced. Does the E27 have a reduction gear or is it direct drive? I don't see any moisture on the shaft after use. That packing gland is supposed to weep a little lubricating the shaft right?
