The original outboard on my 18' pontoon died 2 years ago, (1999 60hp bigfoot 2-stroke). I replaced it with a new Mercury 60hp Command Thrust 4-stroke. I did baby it for the first season, now it's showing 26 hours so I'm thinking I should be able to run it WOT.
My problem is: I can't get over 4k rpm. I still have half the throttle to go but no more rpm/speed?
I keep it on the water during the season so working on it is nearly impossible.
Any suggestions ??
