Merc 898/305 Chev. We've suspected that we have had a rattling shutter but have not had occassion to pull the exhaust tube to inspect.
Suddenly, while on the water, the motor will not idle below 2000ish rpm. It was ok when launched. There was no opportunity to assess any loss of high end power, before returning to the launch, because the water was extremely rough.
All of the engine basics have been verified as ok by a knowledgable mechanic.
