Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and I fact new to boating in general. I recently acquired a 1989 Bayliner Capri with a Force 50 motor. I've been doing a good amount of searching and this is where I'm at, it starts up great, sounds good but it seems to have a problem going more than a few miles an hr by that I'm mean not more than 10mph. I've read many post on this and have tried to rule out what problems others have had. I have the correct prop and I've tried all levels of trim adjustment. I've noticed that in neutral I am able to rev at a much higher rpm which makes sense because there is no load, but when put into gear it sounds if I'm only at half throttle. Even with just me on the boat I can't get it up on plane, as of right now I think I've narrowed it down to one of two things either my cdm being bad or I'm having some issue with my carb. Does anyone else have an idea that I could have missed or how I could rule out a carb problem before I spend the money on a CDM? I've recently replaced my plugs and cleaned the carb and both cylinders check out with a compression test.
thanks in advance!
