Hey guys, I have a 20ft angler center console I just got. It's equipped with a 2000 125hp mercury. I know this engine drops 2 cylinders. It really purrs once she's up and going except I can only turn 4600rpm. I'll get to that in a moment. Now I know this motor kicks in the bottom 2 cylinders above 2k. But I'm thinking the transition should be a little smoother. This one is like a sudden spike close to 800 +/- rpm. So I'm thinking it's something with the accelerator pump. Now as to the 4600rpm I know where should be able to turn close to 5240rpm max and at first was thinking a prop change was in order. I'm she's currently running a 13.125" 16p mercury vengeance prop. Was going to throw a 15 on there to see how she did, but kind of want to get a factory manual and check it all over first. Where can I get a good manual, preferably a mercury book? Never had worked on these before I got out of the game. I was just a mercruiser tech.
Thanks in advance guys. It'd be nice to get this center console above 30mph
