I have a 2005 50 hp 4 stroke MERC that will not accelerate smoothly from idle (~1000 RPM). It leaps to 2000 - 2500 unless youvery slowly advance the throttle. A dealer I took it to had no idea how to fix it. It's a lot of fun ! - and could be dangerous in a congested area. Other than that it runs great.
