to start
i changed my water / fuel separating filter (filled w/gas before putting new one on) last week and after doing so had a hard time getting the primer bulb to pump up.
Took boat out this weekend it started and idled fine but when i put it in gear it felt rough and bogged down ( did not die just ran rough) where it would not get on plane. The only way we could get on plane was for my partner to sit on front deck and even then it ran fine but felt like i was running on 3/4 of normal power .
thank for any advice or suggestion where to start , Steven
 
Does it have a little switch on the shift linkage on the right side of engine. If it’s like the 200 hp it only idles on 4 cylinders then when put in gear goes to all 6. If switch is bad it won’t go to all 6.
