My problem is with my 1995 mercury 200 . It cranks fine and idles fine but when you try to take off it doesn't have enough power to plane off, just bogs down. It may do this a few times then it may take off and run fine. Last time I went out it did this but when ittook off and I was running at about 3/4 throttle I hit the trim because of some barge waves and it almost killed the motor, and it wouldn't plane off again it would just bog down. I made sure my battery was hot and still had trouble, flushed out the old gas and I don't know what to try now. Any Ideas would be very helpfull. Thanks.

Rectifier regulator assy. Whats is your battery voltage when running?

Uhh whats was the fuel pressure? Sounds more like a stator,rectifier,voltage issue as low voltage will affect pump also.

Over 14 volts? How much does it drop when you hit trim when running?
