"Hi, I have recently purchased
"Hi, I have recently purchased a 1992 15 Yamaha 2-stroke from a mechanic, he had done alot of maintenance work on it (not rebuilt tho) yet it starts with half a pull everytime, and looks new inside and out. I have used it several times but recently after driving for 15 mins on the weekend it would not speed up enough to plane the boat even though the motor revs up fine, it did however leave me about bottom 1/3 speed so i could return home. My SELOC manual says possible prop hub, but it appears ok...though the prop is kinda pitted and appears original.or bottom end somewhere? I have a fair bit of skill in replacing parts on outboards if i can isolate the problem. Any help would be appreciated! -Brandon}"
