Engine: 2007 Mercury 225 Pro XS
Serial #: 1B458907
Boat: 2007 Triton TR210
I've posted before about issues with this motor. It's been at a dealers for a total of 3 weeks this short boating/fishing season here in Massachusetts.
The motor intermittently, although patterns are starting to emerge, won't run over 2200 RPMS but stays stable at about 1800 rpms. Most of the time after a bit of this it will cough, rpms increase and it will run normally but then if you slow it down like on a small lake it starts all over again. I think about everything that could be done to this thing has been done. Of course there are no codes. Calls to mercury service have not been all that helpful.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Surely I cannot be the only one. I am retired and don't have a ton of disposable income so randomly changing parts (that has happened) isn't helping.
Worse yet, sometimes the thing runs great. like on 7/4/19, ran great in 90 degree heat and humidity.
Any clues I could share with a dealer would be appreciated. I have a video of this happening, but cannot figure out how to get it off my phone on to the pc to attach. (I need an IT guy too).
