    Mercury XR6 150hp won't go into reverse

    Ok, so here's my problem. The last time I used it during the summer, I noticed that my boat was not going full speed when I have the throttle all the way down. Heck, it won't even pick up speed and was going at about 5-10 miles an hour only. So being frustrated, I thought it was the carbs...
