I recently purchased an '87 Bayliner Capri Cuddy with a Volva penta inboard engine. The boat is in fair shape for it's age, and when first started it runs pretty good. However, once I've run it full throttle for a while, it begins hesitating as if it's starving for fuel/air if I cut power and then try to return to anything more than a slow troll.
Originally I thought this was the air intake, but I've cleaned that as best I can see. Also, I noticed yesterday that this problem only occurs when the engine is in gear. If I put it in neutral and and rev the engine, it works perfectly.
So I'm confused - where should I begin my investigation?
TIA for any help - Chris
