Hey guys
I changed my prop at the start of the season and noticed my boat didnt have the same power, it wasnt an improvement on the old prop.
So today i re-fitted the old prop and took it out, and it was worse. When i give it the beans it sort of hesitates for a second then goes, and takes a while to put the nose down. Also top speed is down to 25 knots last year i getting close to 40 at times
Its ok for inflatables but impossible to ski behind. I serviced the boat myself this year, changed gear oil and impeller. Also i have drained the petrol/any water from all 3 carbs via the drain plug and sprayed in some carb cleaner, so i'm pretty happy they are clean. I did this because the first time i took it out it was kangarooing a bit, but this solved this problem.
The boat was fine at the end of last season and was stored in a garage throughout the winter.
Its a 1999 75hp merc 2 stroke
Anyone any ideas what the issue could be, or anything i can try, also spark plugs where replaced last season ?
Thanks
