motor problems
i have 20 horse power yanmar 3GMF motor. in neutral i can get the rpms up to 3500-4000 if i wanted, however when i put it into gear the highest i can go is about 2000. when i go above that i get heavy black smoke from the aft thru hull. no smoke in cabin or engine compartment. is this an exhaust mainfold problem or maybe a saltwater cooling problem? thank you for any help you can give.
