Love your boat, simple and effective. I love boats that don't need a lot of effort, they just work.

[CynideCypher]

this is great seeing these kinds of videos as a new tech in the field with no master tech to lean all of these little things that save big time. Really Appreciate this!

[francisvantuyle]

You know this gentleman gets so excited when 7s confronted with a problem. His mind works methodically noting the details of the problem until he has his problem well defined. You know he has schematics in his mind. What a wonderfully talented gentleman.

[Stonehands]

Awesome video keep them coming
Here lately I’ve had a rash of those on L6 and on B/O from Mercury had to go to Iboat to get some

[josephvella]

Great video and great diagnostic work! What program do you guys like using? Meds?

[goatwhsprr]

That must've been a Franklin's worth of WOT 🤣

[EVNRUDE]

Interesting. I love getting such boating content daily. Can’t thank you enough

[dustin]

Gone are the days when not getting WOT was fixed by cleaning a carburetor.
Now you need a laptop to figure out which sensor has failed.

[hankschrader]

☹️☹️☹️ Great video Aaron! Glad you found out where you lost your WOT 😁😁😁 We finally have a weekend up here in Puget Sound region above 80 degrees! You'd think I'd have my boat in the water, but no I'm still buffing out the gel coat 😆

[FishinAddict]

My older carb Honda 90hp outboards did just that the last time I was out and surely the trim was the culprit. It acted erratic and on starboard was corroded solid in the up position.

[adam]

Happened the same with my mercury motors. Had those sensor bypassed by local tech. Now perfect!

[lakeratatouille]

Oh you don't know what's going on? That's the new green deal gas limiter. A.K.A. The Bidenator / build back better BSer. You don't need to worry about ICE propulsion much longer. Sailboats are the future. But they won't have sails only windmills on them that will power a minkota. Keep your head down the blades are sharp.

[EtanPriestling]

Awesome video, quick question do you know if this also applies to Yamaha and Honda engines?

[JoeDonaggio]

Funny enough my 2016 Robalo with a F150XB is having the same issue. WOT is limited to 2300 rpm and 9.5mph. The throttle feels stiff as well. Currently waiting for the marina to look at it.

[moisesheredia]

Thank you so much for the details! I’m having the same type of issues on of my twins 150 mercury four stroke.

[calvynvandenberg]

Great video with clear explanations. Pleasure to watch!

[HookedOnTuna]

Had one fail on a 150hp merc this week. Limited engine to about 2500rpm. Customer couldn’t believe a trim sender would cause the problem. It’s unfortunate the way the sensor circuits are wired on the newer stuff that it can’t just be unplugged. Reducing engine power over a faulty trim sender seems like more harm than good. Imagine being offshore and having a miserable ride home because of something stupid unnecessary to operation of the engine. It would be understandable if it’s an oil or a cooling issue.

[tayyibhenderson]

Needed this video 16 months ago when that sensor on one of the verados I look after did this.took me way longer than I’d like to have worked it out.
And it the problem persisted even after changing the sensor..(after an hour of normal operation)

[gillesgomez]

Great video, as usual. I am always learning something watching them. Very interesting, thank you.

[CaptDavesSportfishing]

But what temp are ya running down yonder at WOT???? no one will ever tell me the temps they run in hot florida water, at WOT.
