Today while on the lake my boat started to have trouble getting on plane.I would take off and it would go a little way then I could feel it bite and take off.When I looked at my prop I noticed that there are three holes on the prop with plugs in them that say performance vent system.One is missing.Could this be my problem?The prop is a Mercury Marine Tempest Plus.

Re: mercury prop

The holes are to aerate the prop leting it slip to gain RPM to raise the engines power to help get some boats on plane so if you have slipage it could be the problem
