Have you rebuilt the fuel pump? My '97 75hp wouldn't idle properly and would cut out some at WOT. I rebuilt the fuel pump and it helped tremendously. You probably want to look for other fuel line restrictions.

Re: 1997 force 75hp cutting out

This link will show you an exploded view of the fuel pump. What you want is Mercury part #21-857005A1 which I purchased from my local Mercury dealer for around $20. I believe a diagram and instructions came with the kit. It took me about 30 minutes to do the rebuild since I was being careful to note how everything was to go back together. I could probably do it now in 10-15 minutes. I believe there is one gasket that come with that kit that you do not use. You'll know the one since you won't find one of them on your fuel pump.
