I have been fighting a problem for six months. I have been to two Techs. First Tech kept boat for six weeks and replaced one spark plug. Took boat to the lake same problem. Motor runs fine for maybe ten minutes then looses about 800rpms. I throttle down to about 75% of power and motor runs fine. If I give it more throttle it craps out. If I push electric trim button my RPMs come back up till I let off the trim button. I removed the motor thermastat and removed engine cover no change. Changed fuel and all line connections. I talked to Mercury Marine but they gave up on me and told me to try another Tech. I dont see how they can troubleshoot this in a shop. Last tech wanted to start throwing parts at the problem. I see that as the wrong way to troubleshoot and costing me lots of $$. Iam looking for ideas I can take to the Lake and try. John
