I have a 1995 115 merc w,carbs,yea its the one that idles on 2 carbs till a certain rpm the the other 2 kick in.I bought the boat and the engine was sitting flush on the transom it had the factory 26 p laser 2.The exhaust ports sat in the water wheb trimmed down ans would burn your eyes from running rich.Called tracker and was advised to put motor 1 1/2 off transom,so i did,then adjusted the top 2 carbs(only ones adjustable) and put on a 24 p ballistic...All i thought was well.....about 5000 rpms w/55 mph not bad...Fished a tourny today with full gas and 3 batteries w,fish in the livewell.mind you this is a 17 ft Nitro 170tf,,,There were a few times i went wide open and it just sat @ 2000rpms and wouldnt plane or rpms wouldnt rise.I had to drain the livewell to minimum and move 1 batt to the front,even had slow down and trim down taking some turns due to blow out....I AM AT A LOSS.............Do i need to go to some kind of prop pad adj instead of the factory settings and what can i do to help w/ my carb situation
