[QUOTE="tnriverluver, post: 272446, member: 9284"] Make sure you are getting full throttle. I have a 2011 and after a while it started slowing down and found that the set screw on the wire carb linkage had slipped back some. Could still see a slight mark on the wire from the where the screw was originally tightened down. That does sound about right for a 1648 from everything I read about these motors in researching my purchase. The wide bottom really slows them down. Most don't believe me but my 1542 is running over 30 with mine where my 25 evinrude only pushed it 25-26. I guess I got lucky but I love this little motor. I believe you have the same boat as the Lowe and it is rated for 35hp tiller and 50hp console so it is under powered by quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
