I own a 2005 Stingray with a V6 Volvo 4.3 GL carburated engine. Ever since it was new, this engine has had a bad hesitation during takeoff. It doesn't matter whether the boat is warm or cold. Boat starts great, drop it into gear and it will idle just fine. However, when you begin to throttle up, the boat will gag and hesitate to the point where it will almost stall. You have to ram the throttle through this hesitation point and the rest of the throttle progression is fine. Dealer has adjusted it twice saying the idle was too low once and the second time they redid all of the manufacturers settings for the carburator. HELP! I'm sick of this problem.
