    Would high fuel pressure cause misfire

    I took what FunTimes mentioned is that your motor "might" limit. Merc has a in-gear switch and limits rpm when not in gear Reading thru your posting I didn't see anything about actually having a miss under load. Have you had the boat out prior and did it miss?
