Hello everyone;

I have a 14' Valco (aluminum) with a Mercury Force 15hp motor. I currently use this boat to fish at 1000' above sea level. If I go to 7000' will I need to rejet the carburetor and go to less pitch on the prop, or should I not worry about it?

Thanks.

Re: High Altitude Running

Continued running at that elevation,change the jets.
Once or twice.I'd make sure the air screw was adjusted right.
