Ya OZ, That would do it!<br /><br />All you really can do is make sure everything is at par. Tune up, Change to electronic if it dosnt have it already, make sure you are propped correctly, etc.

I have found a way to increase power output from ANY marine engine/drive combination, <br />SPEND LOTS OF MONEY.

Re: need power

many times a boat is bought because of its color or brand name or smooth salesman with no thought given to the size of the motor. then the boat is loaded up with people and gear and someone wants to participate in water sports. the owner finds that the boat is underpowered. for the potential boat owner out there, think ahead to what the boat will be used for and match the boat, motor, and intended use (and future need).
