Maybe someone can help me. My 1996 sugar sand heat's Mercury sportjet 120 starts and runs Excellent until about 80% or more throttle is applied then it still runs good but engine changes sound a little and does not rev any higher and the boat does not go any faster. If I back off the throttle a little it runs excellent again. It just started doing this the other day. Before that I could go about 38-41 mph full throttle with just me aboard. Now at full throttle I can only go 30-33 mph. I am calling a mechanic on monday but maybe someone has some advice. Thanks

The rev limiter may be bad. Disconnect the yellow and black wire and try it again. If it runs well, then buy a rev limiter. About 35 dollars.<br /><br />good luck,<br />fp
