It's a 2003 merc 125 salt water motor. It's a very cold blooded motor. I changed plugs this weekend, thinking it was fouled up after the break in, but it still doesn't want to idle. It will start up, run rough, then will just kill. When I try to to punch it, it will take off, then hesitate, then go. I'm a new boat owner, so any ideas you guys have, I would appreciate. Thanks in advance. Jim.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
