Question
CaptainJack
Hoping someone can help me with this...I've had this motor in the shop the last month without any solutions.
I have a 4-Stroke Mercury 50 HP Motor.
I have noticed that the last few times I've taken the boat out it runs good going out but when I come back that I seem to have issues.
On the way back to shore I cannot get the boat to run more than 7 MPH on my GPS. With my throttle all the way down.
I've brought it into the shop twice, each time they have said that they have tested the motor and everything looks good. That I shouldn't have any problems.
Other observations:
When it's idleing the motor seems to shake a lot and many times it will shut off. I am also noticing noises that I haven't heard before during idleing: clanging noises like metal hit metal, a noise like when you have a hole in your muffler on the car).
I am thinking that my motor must be overheating...but I'm not sure.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
