I have a 120 hp Merc. Sport Jet, the problem is the engine is running fine and seems to get WOT, but I have trouble planing the dang thing!
It seems to get worse everytime I take it out , when I open it up it takes for ever to plane it out and I have to get all the weight up front.
Its like when a clutch is slipping in a car, when I give it the throttle I have to back it off a little and you can feel it start to get a little bit better than about halfway across the lake it will start to plane.
I don't understand it, it use to take off like a bat out of hell and now I have sail boats pass me (not really but it feels like it)
Please help!
