Hi new here and to boating I have a 16 foot sea swift open bow with a mercury 650 outboard. Took it out last weekend runs great sounds good but does not seem to have the power I thought it would. I watched some online videos of the 650 running and mine is no where near running as fast. I know a lot of things can come in to play but when opened up to full throttle doesn't even sound like it is wound up all the way. I am new to this kind of two control lever control box. The boats my parents had when I was a kid were newer and only one control lever with a button. I was woundering if someone could put up a video of them starting their motor and getting it up to full speed showing what levers they are moving and tell me what they are doing and why. I have the two lever control box with the larger whitelever on the left and the smaller black one on the right and a push button choke right above the key.
