Two weeks ago, at the end of a day-long trip, the engine lost rpms and the boat fell off plane. When I gave it addtional gas to get back up on plane, the rpms would not rise. Turned off, checked prop and no problem. Fired up and was fine.
Took out again last night. Fine for 45 minutes or so, but then same problem. Turned off, waited, turned back on. Fired up and went to max rpms fine. 30 mintues or so, same problem.
This morning, it would not get past 5,000 initially and then would not get past 4,100 the rest of the way back (1 hour or so).
Engine just had annual service prior to first trip. I checked filters and no water. The fuel flow meter indicated over twice the fuel being used. I assumed I needed to recal the meter. Maybe not, though.
The batteries should be fine. The temp guage never even registered the engine getting hot.
Any ideas?
