First off I値l have to get the serial numbers tomorrow, but having trouble with the motor not turning over 4500 rpms it is a evinrude intruder 175 on a 96 Stratos 285 pro xl. Took it to a mechanic an he told me he fixed it, so to the lake I went with the same problems. Loaded it back up an took it back to him he went over it again an told me it was fixed so I go back an get it, he says he ran the motor with the boat on the trailer an it was fine. I was slightly pissed when I heard that because I知 sure all the pressure is not very good for the boat, but anyways took back to the lake an same problems the boat will not turn over 4500 rpms which is around 48 mph. This boat would run 63-65 full load an 2 people. I installed a electric fuel pump an did away with the primer bulb, replaced all the fuel lines to the motor an from the tanks. I知 no mechanic by no means but everything I hear about these motors is theres nothing to them really so before hauling it 4 hours to a buddy who has the same boat an said he will fix it I知 looking at trying to get a idea if I could possibly do it myself. It has a 23 pitch raker on it. Thanks for any help in advanced.
