All, I am just back from the river and I had a problem with my 1986 force outboard. I was cruising along at 35 mph and smacked into a line of waves. After about the third wave my engine suddenly lost power and would only go up to 2500 rpm with the throttle pegged. If the throttle wasn't fully pegged it was reduced to almost idle speed. I limped back to the dock at 8 mph and there it sits. When pulling into the dock the motor idled rough...it would rev then suddenly drop off and then rev back up but stayed running. It was storming when I got back and haven't had a chance to look at anything yet. I will be going to the dock in the morning (weather permitting) to check it out. Any suggestions on what to look at would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!d
