"Hi,
I have bought my first boat and have two issues i'd appreciate some help on.
Firstly - how do you know the age/model of the motor?
And secondly, which I probably need the answer to the first for is power - the motor is seriously lacking power.
It runs peferctly in and out of the water, the prop is ok condition but I am getting other boats with 20-25 HP motors flying by me.
It's a 14' Ski boat and has the acceleration of a lame tortoise.
If I drive slowly for a while and then stop, it is really hard to start as there seems to be a build up of 2 stroke. If I blast this out by revving hard with the bypass button pressed in it clears with lots of smoke and then runs perfectly again (just with no power)
If you can help me i'd appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance!"
