Hi, I have a mercury black max 135hp either a 90 or a 91 that is acting up. It starts fine and reaches top speed fine but after 10 or 15 minutes of running it starts to lose speed. With a tuber or skier it runs fine for only around 5 minutes then bogs down to just a crawl. It has new spark plugs and we've used a bottle of sea foam on it. we are a long way from home without the manuals, thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Any alarms? Does your alarm horn work?

First thought is overheat or lack of oil. At any rate, don't run an engine that balks. The fault will likely grenade it eventually.
