Hello ,
I have a Merc Mark 55 thunderbolt I was told and the title says it was a 1962, How ever after doing some research I found out that motor was not made in the 60s but in the 50s.
Any way when I take my throttle down low enough to change from reverse to forward or the other way around the motor stalls. It dose not seem to be enough throttle to keep the motor running. But the safety in the control box will not switch with out have my throttle at a certain point which as I stated is not enough to keep the motor running. This Has proven to be a very dangerous problem and made docking and trailering and very quite a challenge. Any ideas on how to fix this would be great. Thank you!!
