All I get is low 40s out of mine and that’s on a good day. You may do better as I have bottom paint, an aluminum prop, usually have a heavy load and I’m sure my hull is wet too. Remember these motors are really only putting out around 175hp at the prop.

I backed off the throttle cables a few turns and she’s idling greats. Thanks for the help

Thanks! I haven’t gotten a chance to mess with it yet. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow

My boat was just in the shop for a month and a half to get my carbs rebuilt, on the bill it stated he rebuilt the 3 carbs, adjusted throttle cables and replaced fuel lines. I picked it up Friday night and went to fish Saturday morning. As soon as I started the boat I noticed the rpms were right...

I know its a long shot but doesnt hurt to ask. I have a 1996 load rite single axle trailer with rollers that my v20 currently sits on. Galvonized with whiite paint with blue stripes. Looking to trade a dual axle trailer for the v20. would prefer bunks but i wont be too picky. can add cash for...

reel has been sold

Penn Warfare 15 line counter Freshwater reel used one season, nothing at all wrong with it I just don’t like the shape/feel of the reel. $55 shipped to your door.

Turns out the shift lever guide needed moved a fraction of an inch. everything is working as designed

I just put the lower back on my 95 8hp merc. In neutral the prop spins freely like it should. In forward it also spins like it should. When I put it in reverse the prop will not spin, when putting any pressure on it the shift shaft starts to flex. I’m planning on pulling it back apart tomorrow...

Boat has ran fine since. Ive had a couple 1/2 second hiccups like mentioned in the above quote but other than hat she has been good (knock on wood) Weird to me that i had a ton of problems for a week or two and then all seems well, ill take it though

To my surprise I was actually able to just find the handle, got it ordered this morning

Seeing if anyone has older merc top mount controls laying around they would like to sell. I need them for a 1981 merc 200 Attached is a picture of the current controls

Ran it again Tuesday. may have possibly had one issue, it started sounding like it wasn't making power but then took off immediately... talking 1/2 second time frame. Other than that it ran great. Tournament tomorrow, so if its going to fail tomorrow is the day.

Fished today and had zero problems. Will be out again tomorrow. Truth be told it probably needs someone with more knowledge and skill than me to diagnose it. The only problem is all of those guys around me are slammed and backed up. Debating buying a stator and a pair of switchboxes and...

Im going fishing tomorrow. Ill bring a 6 gallon tank along. I also swapped out the water/fuel separator and put a back up fuel line and primer bulb on just to eliminate that. another thing i forgot to mention is when this happens if i pop her out of gear and give her some throttle it will...

I do have a volt meter, and I dont think Ive ever looked at it when the problems have been occurring. I have noticed some higher than normal readings while running though in the past.

I also forgot to mention the tach will intermittently not work, this doesnt always Correlate with the other issue though

Thanks guys. I had the switch boxes and the stator as well as pretty much everything else electrical changed 4 years ago. I was hoping this issue was something stupid but i think ive already checked all the dumb things. Now to figure out if i can swap these parts out myself thanks again

2.4 200 merc. the problem im having is very inconsistent. Sometimes the motor will run good all day. sometimes the problem will happen 1 in 5 times sometimes almost every time. The motor will bog and sound and feel like it is only running on a few cylinders. It will do this until it either A...

looks to be a 20" transom, is that correct?
