    Shaky Mercury 80 hp jet

    Strange I agree. That he could not get it to do it. i have been running outboards for about 40 years. I had an older 75hp mercury jet on the same boat and it never behaved like this.

    Shaky Mercury 80 hp jet

    I have a 80 hp Mercury jet (2017) From new when I try to throttle up at around 2500 rpm it starts to shake like crazy and after a few seconds I get several beeps from the alarm and then will run normally.

    volvo penta 4.3 OSi (good, no good?)

    I have a 21.5 ft Bayliner Tropht Hardtop that nees more HP. I have a chance to buy a 2005-380 hours Volvo Penta 4.3 OSi EF XDP Ocean Series that would work but I can't find out much about it on the Net. I read the OSi fuel injection may be problematic and possibly not in production any more...
