Hi there I am new to this fourm and thought that it might help with my troubles that I am having.

I have a bayliner with a force 120 l drive. I just purchased this boat from a buddy, not running. I just installed a new swich box and got it to fire back up, it runs like a champ when at idle and starts with no issues. When I give it gas it starts to act like it is droping cylinders and popes and dies. Any body have a clue?

Thanks
Collin

Just a few things. Is it getting enough fuel to the carbs? Is it getting good spark to all cylinders and have you done a compression test yet? May need to decarb that motor to free up and clean
Out old carbon out of your motor. I bet some others will jump on here and have some other
and great input to you prob.
