Mercury are prone to the lazy relay syndrome.
Especially the up one.

Maybe your boats feeling sluggish cause your bringing home too many fish. ;D
You havent done an oil seal and are low on hydralic oil or your manual hydraulic release bolt hasnt vibrated a bit loose and not allowing full hydraulic pressure
just grasping at straws

I had the mechanic on the phone as we tried to pin piont it .................. We tried direct powering it without the relays so have plenty of spark but no powering of up and down. Thinking that the motor has had water into it along the line and starting to cease . Will know on tuesday.
It's parked in my garage and definaetly no leaks or drips. And yep checked that awhile ago when i spray and wipe my motor down with RP7 i check the nuts and bolts and wiring around it for and abnormalities. Touch wood everything things been great on it
