Boat motor problem

[Fishin is life]

Sounds like it could be spark plugs...how long has it been since youve changed em?

Put in new plugs last winter when i rebuild the engine. I never though to tell, but the engine didn't miss one lick. The plugs most likely need changing because i mix my oil and sometimes it pretty rich. My Auto-Oiler wasn't pulling out was the reason my motor went down last year.

i had my plugs go bad back this summer and my boat never missed i just couldnt get full power....sometimes id get power and sometimes itd struggle to set up on pad....i could be running down the lake with it wide open and all of a sudden itd gain power and take off...plugs would be the easiest and cheapest way to start lookin for the prob....pick em up for a couple dollars at your local parts house
