Oh, please let there be a Mercury guru online who read this!

I have a pair of Mercury 50 Hp outboards on a houseboat. These are
relatively new, model year 2000, first sold in 2002, and only have 35 hours
on them.

They run awful!

I belive, and I may be wrong, that the 2000 50 Mercs had a recall on
certain motors for just this problem.

Tell your certified mechanic to look that up and see if the serial
numbers match the recall.
