Hi, new to the forum here. Was referred here by another site. Anyhow, I have a 50 hp tracker outboard engine for my 2001 tracker deep pro v fishing boat. This past summer, i noticed a problem with it and need advice. It fires right up and idles great. It will go when throttle is applied and get up on plane. Within 5 to 10 minutes of running however, it seems to bog down like I'm towing three waterskiers or something. I'll pull back the throttle, and it will idle normally and even seems to run normally just at minimul throttle. Then when I throttle up again, it'll simply bog down. Sometimes it will get up to plan, then seem to sort of cut out off and on and eventually bog down again. Any advice? Thanks

You flowing water pretty well? How is the compression of the motor? Do the gears grind at all when shifting?

Sounds like a your dropping a cylinder due to a bad CDM module or debris from a deteriorated fuel line stopping up a high speed jet.
