Took my 03' 800 XLT out this weekend (50 hours on it). Started up right way in my driveway after being winterized.
Sounded great, put it in the water. Hesitated a little while heading out into the bay, like seaweed entered the intake. Hit throttle and it sped up fine. In the middle of the bay, it started going 10 mph tops full throttle. Checked intake and nothing. Started it up again and now max speed is 5 mph full throttle. Came back to the dock and took her home. Took off intake grate and nothing looked amiss.
When I was running water through it in my driveway, started right up and sounded great.
Why would it sound and run great on land but not in the water? Help please!
Thanks,
Scott
