Hi everyone, I have a 50HP Bigfoot with less then 20 hours on it.
First time I took it out this year I was able to get my normal 6000 rpms, but now I can only get 5000 rpms out of her. Motor sound great/sounds normal, but don?t know why I have lost 1000 rpms. I have made no changes to the boat between the 6k to 5k rpm dip.
One thing I did notice is when I was cruising at about 2,000 rpms the motor made a little higher pitched noise (not a bad sounding noise) and rpms went up a bit then right back down to 2,000 without touching the throttle.
What do I need to check, going out tomorrow and would like to see if I can get this problem solved so I can test.
Thanks in advance everyone!
