i bought a boat (1989 125 hp force) a couple years ago <br />and tried it out in a small nearby lake and run got into some<br /> mud i chewed up the prop pretty good but noticed no problems with <br />power when returning to the dock i had the prop fixed but did not get out<br />again that year <br />the following year i did not make it out at all then when i took it out this year i<br />noticed that pushing the throttle forward that i either had full throttle or nothing <br />i could go slow in forward, but if i held the throttle down all the way it would go<br /> fast but nothing in between . (could this problem be from sitting not being used or is it something else) <br />also i was wondering how much water should come out of the <br />holes for the water pump there is more water coming out with the exhaust than there is out of the small portholes<br />is this normal or should there be a steady stream coming out of the 2 small holes ???<br /> any ideas? <br /><br />
