I have a 1997 Monterey with a Mercruiser 5.7L sterndrive. The boat has routinely cruised at 3200 RPM For years. The other day was no different, took it out and ran it around the lake at 3200 RPM. Later that day I needed to disconnect and reconnect the alternator because the bracket needed to be replaced. When I took the boat out today it only got to 2900 RPM and feels sluggish, not quite getting on plane.
Playing with the trim can get me a few more RPM but not the problem.
Looking for suggestions on the potential cause of the low RPM and sluggishness.
Thanks!
