Finally got to put my boat in the water after all last year putting a new motor in and yesterday replacing the impeller in the lower unit. but it will not come out of the hole, i trim it just like i was shown how to but it hits in the area of 2300 rpms and it hits a wall and will not go. it is a 94 vip with a 5.0 (305) mercruiser with a alpha one out drive. We thought everything was great, because out of the water it runs absolutely perfect. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Need help!!!!!

It sounds to me like you are not getting fuel as you you need it. I'm no expert on I/Os and do not want to steer you wrong. Just sounds like fuel, and I would say check the fuel filter, pump, and tank vent. I'm sure others will be along to help you out before too long.

it was in that area, def did not hit 3000

Carefully RECHECK the firing order and ensure that you don't have a couple of sparkplug wires switched.......

THEN ENSURE that you have the timing correct and that the dist is advancing correctly.

This may sound stupid but i am new to boats so bare with me as I am learning as I go.

It runs fine out of the water all the way up the rpm's, it only does this in the water, does this make a difference?

Without a load on the engine of course the engine will hit top RPM.
