Just bought a 92 Procraft with a 175hp Mariner. Took it out today and it started right. Went to take off and no more then got on plain and it stalled on me. After trying to go again ot would stufder and stall giving it gas. Then i had a warning sound come on. After playing around with it for some time the problem didnt go away. We stsrted to float back to dock and thought id try it again. The boat got up on plain and ran fine until i shut it off again. Ot acts like its bogging down. Looks like its getting plenty of gas and oil. Warning sound did go off
