Took the boat out for the first time today, it has a 1999 150hp mercury xrt. It didnt seem to idle very well and kept dieing if i didnt give it some throttle. Any ideas on what to check? This is my first boat and I dont really know anything, Im just going by the seat of pants and with trial and error. I also saw that the motor sat awfully low in water and the water would be up the the bottom of the cowl almost when moving, it didnt look right to me. I would bet that the water discharge port was going under water even though I couldnt see it. What should the water level come up to roughly, the boat is a 99 nitro nx882. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
