Lately on my boat its been a struggle to get on plane and then once on plane its not turning the amount of rpms it should and is extremely slow. I have put in new spark plugs, played with the coils, put new wires on with no relief, also my power pack is nearly brand new. I'm not sure what else it could be. Fuel related? Fuel pump. I have noticed the alarm sounds randomly every once in a while also.

Sorry it took me so long to get back spark and compression are both good. I took it out and its still having the same problems but after i tried to start it and run again I went to throttle down and it bogged out. and i had to pump the bulb to make it act normal.
