hey guys, i've got an 08 F20, which ran flawless up till the weekend prior to this past..
at the end of the day i was coming off plane (going past a marina).. when i got through the marina area, i go to get back up to speed and she just didnt have it in her, she wouldnt get to anywhere near a planing speed..
i put the electric down, and we fished the area, the motor worked fine on our way back to the launch..
yesterday it did the same thing, but i hadnt been running it all day.. just dropped the boat in, let it warm up, and took off.. we were fine till i came down off the plane to figure out where we wanted to go, then couldnt get it back up..
i've been out a few times this year, running the motor quite a bit with no similar probs..
could it be weeds on the prop? (noticed it had a mess on it when i trailered the boat).. or something else? when i happens, the boat kinda feels like there's an extra 500lbs of people in it..
any ideas?
thanks
mike
