I have just bought my first boat with a mercury on it so I decided to ask the resident experts here before I start my repairs.
The motor starts fine but under load with about half throttle the 25 horse starts bogging pretty badly. I figure the high speed jet is clogged from sitting up for 2 years with old gas in it. I have never owned a mercury before so I wanted to ask if this sounds right to you guys and if so , are there any special steps that need to be taken to remove the carb?
I have rebuilt many Johnson/Evinrude carbs but the Merc is a whole new animal to me.
Thanks for any advice !!!

Get the manual and the correct kit. If you've done it before, should be able to do it again.
