Water in Fuel??
I went to Blackshear yesterday and had a problem with my motor. Motor would crank and idle fine but would bog down and not plane at full throttle. Went back to the dock and run the motor full power with prop in neutral for about 5 minutes...took it back out and finally go the motor to go full power and plane...ran like a striped ape most of the day, except for choking out at idle.
That afternoon it did it again when I got ready to head in...did the same neutral full throttle motor run....motor spit and sputtered and finally planed out at full throttle and ran again like a striped ape for 30 minutes as I run up and down the lake. Put the motor in in idle and it choked down.
Bad gas or something seriously wrong with the motor? Its a 25 merc and this is the 1st time I run it since late Sept last year. I unhooked the fuel line and ran the motor until it ran out of gas last year and had seafoam in the gas.
Thanks
