I just bought a 2001 hurricane GS 188 with a 2001 yamaha 115 fourstroke. The owner told me that at some point they hit a rock and damaged the prop. After replacing the prop they found that they could not go over 5mph and it will not plane out. I took it for a ride and it is true that it will not plane, but the motor will not run past 3000 rpm. I also checked the prop and it is the correct size and pitch. I have no idea if the prop damage has anything to do with it or not.
The motor has 170 hours on it and starts right up, idles great, has zero hesitation. When I do try to open the throttle it goes right up to 3000 rpms and just stays there. Doesn't hesitate and will stay there as long as I keep it. Could it just be a remote throttle issue or a throttle adjustment issue? Possibly a sensor? I realize it could still be a fuel related issue, but what is baffling me is that everyone says there will be a hesitation and stutter or stall when trying to go to WOT.
I have not had a chance to check compression yet, and will be doing that soon.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
