Had a lower unit claim approx 2 months ago & after all the Insurance red tape finally got my rig back w/ a brand new lower unit. After being set up for 2 months, my 1st trip out I had extemely poor hole shot performance; figured it may be due to my spark plugs, which were fouled. Replaced plugs & fuel filter. Today (07/13) still absolute terrible hole shot, taking about 2-4 minutes at times to turn over enough to get on plane. Top end is there once on plane. Is it possible that the new lower unit (SN: 85933A13; + Gear HSG COMP/LG Black 1.75:1. RUN: G480301301) installed is not the correct one for my motor??
Any input is greatly appreciated
