I have a 98 oceanrunner 115 ficht injection motor and have had nothing but problems. To start, when throttling to get to plane the motor bogs down like it is not receiving fuel; if you pump the ball while speeding up you can hear the motor tone change and get to plane. The motor runs ok from that point but periodically you can hear tone fluctuations and the motor will not get over 4000 rpm. To top it all off if you continue to run for even a few minutes the engine alarm sounds and shows hot. So i go back to idle and within a few the light is off and it is back to the beginning. The impeller is new so i put it in the shop with no luck, replaced the fuel pump and the fuel lines new ball and still the same problems. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, Im desperate for ideas.

Talked to the mechanic today, told me he tested fuel pressure and lost it when accelerating. Wish he would have done it three weeks ago when he put the new fuel pump on. Waiting for them to install a new secondary fuel pump. This is the last straw.
