    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    yeah my nitro 185 has it at the bow also. after I posted this last night I started poking around with my voltmeter and the middle solenoid wasn't getting 12 volts and I would shake it or kind of move it and then it would get it and work so I'm pretty sure it's slowly dying. I ordered two of them...

    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    So now I have an issue that occurred when I had the battery issue and the problem is that I cannot tilt the motor up from my control box at the driver seat nor can I do it from the bow of the boat. I can however go down from the driver's seat and from the bow and directly on the motor up and...

    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    Rebuilding the fuel pump was to fix for the stall outs. And I did find some battery connections that are kind of corroded and one was loose so that was triggering the boat not starting again. So I think I'm in good shape at this point now. Thanks for all the input.

    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    It does have a volt meter, after it died the gauges were pegged to the high side of the gauges. Once it started it again it was showing 12 volts. I'm going to go through the electrical after I rebuild the fuel pump. So strange that it "seems" to just fix it self after waiting a bit.

    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    Took the boat out this afternoon, started up fine, got past the no wake zone and went WOT, got on plane and cruised for about 30 seconds, then I felt is dying and got off the throttle, it did die. Strange thing now is that when it does that I have what seems zero power to the ignition and motor...

    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    I have not checked the state of the primer bulb, however if it does die after the bog down, it will start up and idle fine. I will check it out though. I think I will get the parts on order to rebuild it.

    1996 Merc 125 ELPTO - Bog down after WOT

    I can start the motor fine, it will idle endlessly fine. When I take off, it flat out goes and gets on plane smoothly, I can cruise WOT for about 1 minute, and then I can feel it loosing power, I lower the lever to idle and it will idle, I can wait a few minutes and start that process all over...
