Good Morning,
Recently purchased a used 2005 Nitro 288 with a 150 Merc XR6. I have had it on the water 3 times now and the engine appears to run very well - no obvious signs of trouble to the ear - gets right up on plane. The engine does have some difficulty starting after sitting but does not exhibit those signs once warmed up, cranks right up.
Recently tried my buddies 23p prop and found the RPM's couldn't get above 4800. So we put back on my 19p and found the engine couldn't go above 4800 RPM. This doesn't seem right to me.
Is there anything between the throttle and engine that could cap max RPM's @ 4800? This outboard is rated for 5600.
I've seen some talk about a faulty CDM module but haven't found much information on this thing.
Thank you so much!
