I just bought a 97 75 hp merc on a pontoon boat. The engine starts right up, but we have a long no wake zone to get to the main lake and the engine runs rough while running between 800 and 2000 rpm. I also noticed what looks like a vacuum hose coming out on the starboard side of the engine, but I can't see where that would connect. Any help is always appreciated. Thanks
