    Confirmed that the Throttle is mechanical and not digital. Injectors were brand new and cost a lot of money each - pretty sure they were not rebuilt.

    Thanks pretty sure he has the CDS dongle - left in our boat once. But agree when we are not handy ourselves we are reliant on the mechanic telling us what we need.

    We will have the mechanic do this week again. The injectiors are new (well 6 ish months) with not a lot of use over winter.

    Fuel pump that was installed was the Mercury-Mercruiser 8M0047215 Fuel Pump Module Service Kit Complete. All the gauges are normal when it happens. It’s like a flood of fuel then dropped right down with a blocked feeling.

    MerCruiser model 496 MAG (H.O.) 425 HP loss of power

    Ok so we took it out today. Started perfect. Drove for about 15 min at 8 kmph till we entered the harbour and then full speed for another 15 minutes. Not an issue then instantly the engine just pulled right back. This time we both notice a flooding smell of fuel. Then shut the boat down...

    MerCruiser 496 HO 2008 - Engine Alarm (constant sound)

    Thanks Lou - yep that’s the engine on after running for about an hour with no issue. Mechanic finished putting the fuel rail and injectors in the day before.

    Four Winns SL262 (2008) Bimini replacement with wakeboard tower

    Thank you I have emailed them both. They dont appear to hold the 2008 range. Also hard to know if the range they have in 2014 is the same as the 2008 range. Have emailed Four Winns too....
