OUTBOARD HELP NEEDED
2001 yamaha 115 hp.... 2 stroke......

ran great all day.... packed up to head in and only got 3000 rpms at full throttle..... took it out of gear and gave it gas and RPMS went up no problems..... put back in gear and still only goes 3000 rpms at 8-10 mph..... No sputtering, and Not over heating ????

Looking for possible problems before I go looking for a mechanic.... also ... do these engines have some sort of fail safe system that only allows them to go 3000 rpms ?

Like BigBo said earlier check out the prop hub first. Din't need to be a mechanic to do that one.
