We've got a 9.9 Bigfoot Merc and anything above 3-3.5 mph makes the engine sound like an F-15 taking off. Is it just working harder because of the large load it's trying to push? I saw in another thread that some guys are adding SeaFoam to get it to "purr". It's totally obnoxious and is uncomfortable to troll with, so we usually end up using the big motor when there's really no need to. Thoughts?
