  1. I'll eat crow on that one. Some, but not many with the Mercarb two barrel did have a PVC valve system & that's what is on the end of that hose. No need to plug it , replace the valve if you think there is an issue.
    The thing that was throw me off is my RPMs aren't going that high and it seems to be running a little rich

    9.9 are the standard nowadays, its big enough to push 30+ feet, but you need to get the ones they purposely make for kickers. they have lower gear ratio and are propped different, the work great but don't go over 4 or 5 mph no matter what, but can all ways push trolling speeds. Yamaha is same as merc but the stickers on the merc are more. 

    I agree my 9.9 will get my 25' to 5.5 mph and my buddy has a 17' alum boat with the same motor and gets the same mph even though my boat weights 3x more.The extra weight of a 15 is not worth what you will gain the other factor is "hull speed" the faster you go the boat will try to get on plane (which will never happen) and will create more drag in effect negating any gains from the extra hp.
