    Is my mercury oil injected?

    I installed, on my 84 115, not only the Water Pressure Gauge, but teed the Tube fitting and installed a Pressure Switch that would set an Alarm off when the Water Pressure dropped too low. Annoying I will admit cause it would sound for several seconds until the Block filled and pressure to build...

    Towing more than capacity?

    91 40hp 4cy 2-stroke Power loss

    Could be a Fuel issue, but It could Ignition. What rpm was it running in the video, and you say it was WOT? You replaced the Plugs? Being that is in the same sentence as replaced the gas, did you disassemble the Carbs, cleaned all the passages and replaced the Welsh Plugs? Or was that referring...

    Boat Randomly Sluggish

    What brand of Prop and Hub? Does the prop have the same diameter Hub as the old prop? The I/Os use the same props that fit the Larger Outboards, however the Props for the midrange HP models will fit, but having a smaller Hub will have excessive Ventilation and resulting slippage

    Will dealers still deal on new boats?

    I think the Dealers are still experiencing low Inventory levels and since they have the Supply, they can make the Demands regarding price
