    Mercury won't throttle up?

    When I have my motor in neutral and rev it up to full throttle it will climb just fine, but when I shift into forward it won't climb all the way up even though it's at full throttle. It will only go at half speed.

    Prop spinning correct way??

    I have a 1986 150hp Mercury. I recently reinstalled lower unit after impeller change. When the boat is in forward, prop ratchets clockwise, but when I put it in reverse it doesn't ratchet at all. It locks both ways. Is this supposed to happen, or is something wrong in my lower unit?
