[QUOTE="roach, post: 201596, member: 5919"] I have a Lowe 1448 with a 15hp Mariner. I struggled with trying to get the motor to reach rated rpm's at WOT when 2 adults were on board. I cleaned the carb, replaced tank and fuel line and still wouldn't plane all the time. It seemed like a carb problem. Finally realized the prop may be the issue. It had a 12 pitch and a little research determined it should be between 7 and 9 pitch. I went to an 8 and even after adding a full 3/4" deck and floor it gets easily up on plane. Something to consider. [/QUOTE]
