Hi guys, I have been troubleshooting my 95 Mariner 150hp on a 95 Bayliner Trophy 2002 not being able to get above 2500 or so rpms on the water. Sometimes it will eventually and slowly increase above there and get on plane around 3400 or so. Then it's great. It revs up on the trailer in neutral no problem.
I was going to check the resistance on the stator and trigger today and noticed one of the two regulator's silicon encasing has lifted from the enclosure from overheating or something. I was hoping that could be the problem but from doing a little research it looks like the two regulator's are in parallel to charge the battery, so it's probably not my issue. Someone please correct me if I am wrong!
I have good spark on all plugs and the battery seems to be charging properly.
I have replaced the water separator and rebuilt the fuel pump but have not tested since.
I have a 3 gallon tank to try.
I will try pumping the bulb and use the choke next time too.
I currently have a 4" 19p prop on the motor and will try a 17p one next time.
If anyone has any questions advice it'd be greatly appreciated! My wife is getting sick of me working on the boat.
