Hey all I am new to boating and baught a bass boat with a Mercury 40hp outboard. When I start it it cranks up good but the peestream splatters. The moter runs for about 15 to 20 min then tries to die or does die. It then is hard to start again and then starts and does the same thing. It throttles up fine and runs strong but i was wondering if the peestream should be a solid stream? and could that be whats causing it to die if it is not cooling proper? Any help thanks Bri
