1.) 1B118088
2.) 2005 Mercury 225 Pro XS Optimax on a 2005 Ranger Z20
3.) Mercury Tempest Plus 25P
4.) 3,800 to 4,000 RPM's in the water (5,500 - 6,000 RPM's in a run tank)
6.) SmartCraft
I am at my wits end with my motor. The boat basically plows water for several minutes at anywhere from 2,000 RPMs to 2,500 RPMs before finally getting enough power to jump up on plane. It will then only max out at the 3,800 to 4,000 RPM range. I have now taken it to my mechanic twice but he has never ran the boat in a lake nor a river. Below is a list of what has been done to date.
1.) Fuel Tested (mechanic said the fuel was good.....I only run non-ethanol in 91 or 93 octane)
2.) Spark Tested (mechanic said spark was good......new plugs installed in Feb using NGK IZFR6J; .033" Gap)
3.) VST Pulled and Checked (mechanic said fuel pressure and air pressure was good)
4.) New Fuel Filter Installed
5.) Fuel Line from Primer Bulb to Motor was Replaced
6.) All Injectors Pulled and Sent Out to RX Injector [the report i was given stated (a. - Injector p/n 37001 - static flow was 660 across all) (b. Injector p/n 884595-1 - static flow was 2,700 across all) (leak test on all was a pass and the spray pattern on all was good)]
7.) Compression Check Done (mechanic said compression was good on all cylinders)
I appreciate any help/suggestions that could be thrown my way.
