Fairly new to boating, 3rd season with this boat. I have 1987 Chapparrel XLC 190 200hp/v8 Mercurser Alpha 1 I/O. Two questions:
1- Boat is slow from start, takes ~ 10 seconds to plane which stinks for skiing. Have gone to 19" pitch prop and use high test gas which helped. Any ideas?
2- Notice gas/oil discharge in water when shut off boat. Didn't notice this when 1st had boat. Any ideas where to check for problems?
