A little history before my probs. Bought my pontoon is Dec.2014 went out with the seller on lake Ivey near Coleman TX for a test ride. (seller is a friend of mine) Outbound boat ran great, faster than I was comfortable with. Stopped and talked with a fisherman for about 10 mins. then started back. On way in started getting a 4 beep warning seller said the store where we had just fueled boat had a history of water in gas and thought that was the issue. Then the boat started to stall when ever rpms got over 4000. ( mercury optimax 90 hp) as long as the rpm stayed at 3500 or less it ran fine. I towed boat back to Abilene Tracker dealer and they said they fixed it and seller paid the bill. ($127 and all they did is replace fuel filter).
I paid the seller for the boat but it sat in my drive for 6 weeks due to bad weather conditions. Last weekend I was finally able to take it out on the local lake, and guess what it is doing the exact same thing. Here are the issues
(1) 4 beep alarm. I am going to pull the cowel off and disconnect the low oil sensor and see if that helps.
(2) Fuel starvation. Nothing I can do in the driveway,boat has to be under a load. Runs fine at all rpms with earmuffs.So any advice I can get on what I can checkout with boat out of the water would be much appreciated. Don't think I can get back out on the lake for awhile. Even though I live in Abilene Tx it still gets cold in January and February.
