Is that on the remote control lever ? if yes then adjust the throttle cable to push against the throttle stop on the engine end so when you select gears it only moves when you go to accelerate ! mite need to adjust the carb pickup to align with mark on main lever that moves the timing rod to the trigger under the flywheel !

I just replaced the No# 1 piston on a 2002 Mercury 150 XR6 outboard but when I put it in the water it will not get on plane it plows

what you are trying to say is that the engine wont rev up? or it revs up fine with no load but cant rev up when trying to push the boat? maybe its still running on 5 cylinders

Mercury outboard,, 7.5 hp Serial no 8065967 Year of manufacture please

If the serial number is 3065967, it is a 1971.
(Not 80659677??)
It appears that the last year produced was 1976 with serial numbers starting with 4314385.
8 and 3 misreading is not uncommon.

I have a 1987 mercury 9.9 outboard drive problems

the inside of the prop has a rubber between the prop itself and the inside splines to act as a shock absorber,say if you were to hit a rock. that rubber had spun out and the splines are turning inside the prop. the prop is screwed. seen it 100 times before.
