Hey guys. Have a few questions and would appreciate a hand with if anyone would care to comment on. My first motor.
I've always paddled or used a trolling motor.
Motor: 1994 Yamaha 6 hp. 6MSHS
Been worked on by myself and a certified mechanic.
Took it out a few weekends ago and had no problems starting or running.
Only problem was I was way disappointed with top speed.
Boat:12' weld craft (12'10"), commercial tag. Pulled up a vehicle app with gpson my phone and showed 8 mph. I was hoping for 15. ( I know). It's a heavy boat and I had my pregnant wife at the bow. Our weights n combined cargo weight was in 400 lb range. Dunno boat weight as all I have is a tag that says commercial boat. The prop I believe is factory (
) and I went through all pin/trim settings. Here is a short video of the trip.

I knew of a fuel pump problem but didn't think it was a major problem.

I know it's a problemthat needs to be fixed for safety issues if nothing else( that I will be fixing), but I'm wondering if it is a performance issue also?
I'm thinking both sets of diaphragms n gaskets?
Also I'm not sure if this is normal?
