Dave,
I watched the video and I had that exact experience (not quite to that extreme but one of my buddies on the boat that day would differ when teasing) when a 12lb. downrigger ball snagged a crab trap. My motor also stalled. Why I am extending out the motor with a removable splash board. I like to keep the feature if I take a big one over the bow that might swamp a closed tall transom.

John,
Where does the motor intake fuel line go? It should be through those two tubes in the fish locker. If the PO rerouted it through the drain tube to the rigging tube and blocked the drain. You are holding 3" of extra water in the fuel tank chamber.
