"Hello, I am currently having
"Hello, I am currently having some runnning problems with my mercruiser 888 engine. At first it only wants to go half the speed. When running right it does 30mph and now I only get 15mph out of it. Been messing around all day with this, did find water in the fuel so I drained the tank, new water seperater and cleaned the carb about 7 times today, still no improvement. Last time checking it, the boat would not stay running in gear. Gave up for today? Any ideas on what to check? Just so you know, it idels nice and rev's good in nuetral, seems to have a problem under load. I have not used it this year, only put it in the water and it has been sitting ever since.
Last year I replaced everything in the lower unit, heads, plugs, oil, distributer button.
This year: New starter and gimbal bearing.
Any ideas on what to check or retry would be great, kind of at a point where I dont know what to check.
Thanks,
Jessie"
