Location: Northern Illinois | I have a 2004 Johnson 175, and it has a weird problem. I take it out on the lake and start it, it runs fine to my first fishing spot, then i fish for an hour then i go to move to my next spot, it runs fine again. Then I fish my hour and go to my next spot and I start the motor it idles fine in neutral then I put it in gear and it sputters and kills, then I go to step on the gas and it sputters and kills, but i can redline it in neutral. It does this like 5-10 times before it runs fine again but when i'm running WOT after this happens it nearly doesn't have as much power as when it did earlier in the trip. I took it to the mechanic and we got screwed pretty bad and he didn't fix anything. Hopefully you guys can give me some things to check or approach the mechanic with... Thanks Cranker
