I would greatly appreciate some guidance on a brand new 2021 VF200 SHO. I am seeing a realtively weak pee stream. I ran it for the first time for 8 hours yesterday, followed the breakin guidance, and even from the first start while idling, the pee stream flows, but not with the pressure i am used to seeing from my old 2 stroke merc. When on plane it doesn't increase in pressure. I checked many times the temp of the water coming out of the stream it was relatively warm but not burning hot at all, so i don't believe any over heating was taking place. It was a hot day yesterday, 90's lake water temp 75.
I just wanted to share the two videos to have a professional opinion. top speed was 54. so i think the jack plate is set properly, and the red line on the lowerUnit you can see in the video while on plane would suggest the intakes are properly submerged. Am I crazy for expecting more water pressure on a new motor? or are 4 strokes like this?
