I just had my 2000 Mercury 25HP outboard serviced after it sat up for 2 years. The shop cleaned and rebuilt the carb and replaced plugs among a few other things. It now starts great and idles smoothly. It runs very smooth until I try to get it up on plane. It struggles to get up and feels like it only has about half the power it used to. It used to push my boat at about 28MPH with 2 people in it and always jumped on plane right away.
The mechanic thinks it may be the switch box (power pack?). Any suggestions out there? Does that seem reasonable? Or should I check something else before buying a new one?
