    2006 Mercury Bigfoot 50hp 4 stroke Outboard Motor

    United, last year before putting it away I tried to run it as low as I could on gas but did pit marine Stabil and Seafoam in the tank and then in April I filled with fresh tank of Premium, no ethanol gas. Used Mercury fuel treatment during the summer. We will see if things have cleared up, after...

    Appreciate all the help here on this and I have assembled a list of things to look at. I'll start with all the tips that were given and we'll see what happens. I will say that the more I use it it is running better everytime.

    2006 Mercury Bigfoot 50hp 4 stroke Outboard Motor

    Yikes! I had it out a bunch this week so far, everyday in fact. Leaving my dock after priming the bulb it runs like it should for about 30 minutes and then reverts back to acting like it has a fouled plug, very boggy.

    2006 Mercury Bigfoot 50hp 4 stroke Outboard Motor

    Arctic1, thanks for the link and the forum. It is becoming increasingly apparent that these motors are very finicky and need to be maintained almost 24/7, very hard to do where I live because it is used for about 5 months of the year and stored for 7 months. I have always tried to maintain my...

    2006 Mercury Bigfoot 50hp 4 stroke Outboard Motor

The motor, a 4 stroke, i thought would be awesome but it's never ran quite right, just can't seem to get the RPM's where they should be. It runs like it has a fouled plug, very boggy. Before I put it away and winterized...
