Hi everyone....some motor history
first year 19 pitch prop tough to plane out but could do it
winterized by dealer
year two first time out 19 pitch tough to plane out but after 50-60 yards
of trimming in and out and throtle up and down the motor just
coughs and dies.
Dealer says kinked fuel line and loose fitting ...dynoed and alls good
second time out 17 pitch prop full power boat wont plane out and after pushing all the water from one end of the lake to the other again the motor
coughs and sputters but this time i grab the primer bulb and squeeze it and the motor returns to life but still wont plane.
Why is the motor crapping out under load like that?
When i get another person to sit as far up front as they can it will plane and runs just fine at full throtle.
Do i drop to a 15 pitch to reduce the work load on it comming out of the hole?
HELP!!!!!!

get me on plane?
Lacking fuel?
I heard it could be the spark control?????
