Could use some help regarding my recently purchased used boat
1.) performance issue - boat bogs down at higher throttles and barely gets up to plane with 2 people in it. Basically you punch it and the engine boss down and you just push water. Have been going through the entire engine correcting issues as found without success. When it gets to plane it tops out about 22 mph. a little slow
2.) Current Prop - Michigan 13 3/4 - 21 pitch stainless 3 blade
3.) Prop dia -13 3/4 prop pitch 21
4.) unfortunately tac not working. Its clearly low and well below the recommended 4200-4600 needed for max HP.
5.) drivetrain info - 3.0L Mercury Marine, Alpha 1, 1987, 130 (supposedly, probably a little tired)
6.) boat - 1987 fourwinns freedom 160, 16ft, 1900 or so I believe.
