I have a bayliner 19 ft with a 125 force outboard what would explain the reason why It won,t go faster than 15
It has good spark on all 4 cyc.seems to have good comp on all 4, when idleing I can rev it up and the 2nd dairys seem to kick in fine when it under load it wont complete its plane and go. the guy add to much oil to the gas he put 3 qts oil to 20 gals gas. I told him 1 qt oil to 12 gals gas, some people just dont understand. would this mess up the plugs enough to limit the performance that much?
not oil. break-in calls for double oil. sounds like carbs &/or timing. the prop doesn’t sound like it’s too big but that is a consideration. if you have a carb not functioning you can quickly screw up an engine. i’d see a pro if i were you. ps-there are no "secondaries".
Fuel Polishing Module by Parker Energy Systems Keeps Fuel Systems Healthy Year-Round
Parker Energy Systems‘ new, patent-pending FPM-050 Fuel Polishing Module is designed to remove emulsified water from the system and combat the accumulation of water in diesel fuel, preventing corrosion and maximizing the effectiveness of filters.

Enabling fuel maintenance during engine downtime and off-season storage, the FPM-050 is a fuel recirculation system that utilizes solid-state pump technology and the Racor filter already installed, so users don’t need to buy another filter. Consuming only 150 mA at 12 VDC, less than two watts of power, it won’t drain the battery, enabling continuous fuel maintenance. It can even work with a solar panel.
Promoting a bacteria-free environment and preventing contaminant build-up, the FPM-050 reduces the need for expensive fuel treatments and additives. Parker Energy Systems’ Fuel Polishing Module filtrates up to 50 gallons of fuel a day. It’s compatible with diesel, bio-diesel and kerosene.
Simple to operate, it incorporates an automatic, full-slow bypass valve, eliminating the need for manual switching. This versatile fuel maintenance solution can be installed in multiple configurations. The FPM-050 is designed for easy retrofitting into existing diesel fuel systems, whether in line with the main fuel filter/water separator or as a dedicated fuel maintenance loop.

Help with my 1972 Mercury marine engine with 150hp?
if i remove my propeller from my outboard engine. will my engine get damage if i put it in a barrel and start it
nope. just don’t rev it up over 1500 or so (except as needed to warm up a cold engine).
