I have a 200hp mercury 2000 model, its on a 1998 range 482. the problem is that it does not want to come up on plane. from and idle I hammer down it wants to take off then just struggles. if I try it a couple times it will finally come up. had someone squeeze the prime ball while trying to get up on plane with no difference. even hitting the enricher doesn't change anything. I pulled the plugs and all were wet. some more than others. this motor was on another boat and acted the same way. ill redo the compression test on it but the last time I did it it was 105 to 110 on all cylinders. have checked all the fuel lines on the boat and motor. all good. rebuild the carbs 3 times. so at a lose. any help would be great. thank you all in advance.
