    1993 Mercury XR6 motor bogging down

    the whole story, I had fished a tournament today and my boat ran great nothing out of the ordinary. I had it at WOT on my way to weigh in and it ran fine. I got to the launch and got my truck and trailer situated and went to start my boat and it sounded a lot different and had barely any power. I thought that maybe it was missing but it ran fairly smooth sounding. If i didn't keep my foot on the throttle it would die immediately but startup fairly easy. I am pretty good with this stuff but I can't figure out if its an electrical issue or if maybe its time to change all fuel lines, pumps, and filter.

    Sounds like a dead switch box. Check spark on all 6 and see what you have.
