Hey guys,

The boat run great and accelerates fine when it's out of water, and it idles fine when it's in water. It however does not seem to like to accelerate quickly when it's in water. We are still able to ski and wakeboard but it's harder since some times it wants to stall other times it's acting like it's choking. We have noticed that when it is running out of the water it expels a small amount of exhaust from the prop, however as it warms up it seems to stop expelling the exhaust or the water from there but instead up closer to the boat itself. Any suggestions, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Failing accelerator pump in the carb or a clogged fuel filter
