about 3 months ago i remember when wakeboarding on 5000RPM, trim almost all the way up to make the wake bigger and crisp, i checked the speed with GPS and it was 23-25MPH which is more than enough for wakeboarding
now, after fixing my slipping propeller , went wakeboarding today with some friends that also used to come with me 3 months ago
the speed was wayyyyyy lower, wake was full of white wash and i could actually feel myself sinking in the water rather than sliding like it should be
i wasnt the only one, every one of my friends when wakeboarding signaling me to accelerate also noticed that lack of speed, the throttle was wide open for sure but nothing, it reached almost 5000RPM but speed was low
checked it on my GPS , 15MPH tops!
dove under the boat to check for fouling and stuff on its body, nothing that should cause this dropped MPH
im very depressed, my only use for this boat is wakeboarding and where i live it very rare for the sea to be as flat as it was today
what to check ? RPM is almost as usuall, 200-300RPM might have dropped from 3 months ago, engine sounds normal...
