I have a 2004 mercury EFI outboard. When going it starts to loose RPM's and slow down. It won't rev up to it normal 5500 RPM at full throttle. I change the plugs, fuel filter put some methyl hydrate in the fuel (thought maybe water in the fuel) but it still runs the same. At idle it is fine but...
I am as cheap has the next guy but I am pretty mechanical and have always done most of my own repairs on every toy that I have owned. It is just about time to get the boat out of the lake for the season the boat has a outboard which is no big deal to get that ready for winter but my question is...

This boat is new to me it is a 2005 Campion Explorer 542 very nice boat very well laid out just what I was looking for in a boat but man is it gutless out of the hole. I think that a 115 hp might just be to small of a engine and it needs a 150 hp just wondering if anyone out there is having the...
I am used to 2 stroke outboards this is my first 4 stroke so I don't know if this is a normal thing or not. When you hit it to get to plan the rpm goes up to 4000 and just stay's there which is not enough to get the boat out of the lake with any speed. Once the boat starts to plan you can start...
