    Thanks for the video.
    I can relate. I have a 2009 9.9 hp 4 stroke and have been experimenting with the same tilt adjusments for improving speed and handling. I added a jackplate to bring the cavitation plate even to the keel this improved the speed from 12 mph to 19 mph at 5500 rpm wide open throttle with the 8.5 prop. I find for my boat the best tilt is #2 ( V-hull 14 foot aluminum ) Using non-ethanol gas also prevents carburetor from gumming up and causing starting and running problems. Letting the motor run out of gas by removing the fuel line from the motor and letting it run until it stalls at the end of the day also prevents problems that other posters have been mentioning. When I start the motor with choke pulled out I push it in almost immediately the engine goes to 900 rpm idle speed ( recommended Idle speed ) Smooth.
    Keep up the nice videos
    . I am 72yrs. old and love the friendliness at the boat ramp among other sportsmen.

      I agree 100% with the non ethanol fuel, but letting it run out of gas is going to dry out everything in your carb if you don’t have an efi system.

    Thanks for the video.
    To anyone reading this.... I have a 2021 Merc 9.9.
    I was reading that the merc 9.9 isnt a Merc 9.9 but a Tohatsu 9.8 re labeled. Which means a completely different motor than the 15 and 20.
    Is this correct?? Or like my old 2018 suzuki, is it just a de tuned 15-20 motor. If it is I want to put the 20 carb and prop on it. If infact it is just the Tohatsu 9.8 it probably wont take the fuel from the 20 carb, mabee flood it.
    Does anyone know the answers to my ideas? Thanks!!

      It will work!
      But you will need to change the prop shaft to a 14 spline and clutch dog from a 12 spline, to utilize the extra 9hp.
      They are 18hp with the 20hp carb on them. If you can fit the 25hp carb you will get 20hp

    I bought a brand new 15 hp, and it sank the same day. I recovered it luckily but man the boat was about to capsize from another boaters wake. To bad I didn’t get their bow number. Idiots driving boats these days.

    Excellent video. Firstly check the motor height with a straight edge to the cav. Plate and bottom. Once that is optimum then get one of those cheap portable tachos. Check that the engine is up the top of it's recommended rev. range or select an appropriate prop. You will be amazed. Small boats rarely have the correct prop.

      If you really want to weigh it, try finding a local scrap yard. They should have a big drive-on scale for calculating scrap value of cars.
      Pull the empty trailer onto it, weigh it. Then put the boat on the trailer and weigh them both. Subtract the weight of the trailer, there ya go.
