I could have pranged my boat today. Manoevreing slowly the engine coughed out , but fortunately I was pointed exactly in the right direction and was able to grab the pontoon rail to stop the bow hitting a stanchion. I've got to do something about this poor low revs runnning on the Mariner 60hp Bigfoot. I have now tweaked the minimum revs up to 900 instead of 600-700. This might help but it still often coughs out for no apparent reason. And I'm slightly nervous that there may be a maximum advised number of revs before putting it in gear.
Someone suggested a couple of weeks ago that I should use hotter running plugs. Anyone care to tell me why this may be a bad idea .... I guess it might put a hole in the piston running for long period at peak power ?
