Mechanic can't get it right! Sad part is that I am still dishing out $$$ when the peace of $#*% is still under warranty!!!! First it was a bad gas bulb, then it was bad coils and the motor was only firing on one cylinder! He moved the coils to different positions and supposedly it was corrected. It fails after it runs good for a while. While meaning first couple of runs during one outing. Mechanic says the computer says everything is fine. Know hes telling me that he thinks the coils are heating up. It kind of sucks to be taking it back and every time it seems like they are guessing. No alarms on the motor. The motor starts even when its stalling. All maintenance has been done on a timely manner.

It usually starts up fine then after riding for a while the motor stalls and will only give out about 2200 RPMs. Its been to the shop 4 times for the same issue in one month!!! Its a 2009 Merc 115HP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

(He moved the coils to different positions and supposedly it was corrected) Replacing the coils should be the next move.

i don't know but it sounds like when my motor only rev up to 2000 rpm, would not plane out, that is all the throttle i had. apparently only running one two cylinders- still under warranty- took it to bps and they said they replaced all 3 coils - no charge- they have had a problem with them and what they told me they are all covered until 2014- so i still have 2 more years (i have a 90hp opti 2007)
