It can be several things. Here are a few simple (cheap) things to check
1. Does the boat have a sub floor that has filled with water?
2. Is the motor trimmed in?
3. Are you using the correct pitch propeller? Once planed does the engine rev to manufacturer's specification?
4. Is the bottom of the boat "bowed" or have a "rocker" as opposed to concaved which would make the boat plow.
The dry weight for this engine is listed as 248lbs.
could you please tell me the weight of a 1980 mercury 80hp 2 stroke outboard motor
The 1995 mercury 25 hp outboard has an approximate weight of 95 pounds. Use care when mounting on a boat already on the lake, as the engine could easily be dropped into the water.
Without you puting any specific output for the Milligrams to be converted to, i'd say that it could equal just about any mesure of weight in the world.
The weight of a 35 hp force outboard motor typically ranges from about 115 to 150 pounds, depending on the specific model and its features. It's advisable to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact weight, as it may vary slightly between different versions. Always consider additional accessories or modifications that could affect the overall weight as well.

To find a fuel tank for a 1930 Johnson A-50 outboard motor, consider checking online marketplaces like eBay or Craigslist, where vintage marine parts are often sold. Additionally, specialty marine supply stores or forums dedicated to classic outboard motors may have leads on where to source original or compatible tanks. Local boat repair shops or antique marine dealers could also be valuable resources for finding the specific parts you need.
the problem could be you are puting in the wrong type of gas try puting in regular unleaded fuel.

I think it should be kept in the parliament so that the leaders could easily refer it while puting any law into action
To say thank you for every thing you have done for me and puting up with my good days and bad and helping me out when you could be with your family
In the early 1970's, when you could still get good gasoline, outboard compression in the 180-190 psi range was common. If your 65 hp Johnson is running in the 100-150 psi range, this would be acceptable, and the engine should still perform well on todays fuel. The important thing to note with compression readings however, is that the difference between the highest and lowest reading, is no more than 15 psi. One more note, avoid fuels containing alcohol if at all possible.l
