Hello,
I have a 22yr old boat with a Mercruiser 350Mag I/O with low hours on it and well maintained and started on muffs regularly.
Took it out recently and after about 45min it started to kind of sputter or miss, it was losing power. Throttled back and turned around and made it to a dock (that had a sheriff boat on a lift, they have very nice docks) and tied up and let it idle for a few. Revved it up a few times and it seemed fine so off we went. No more trouble at all for he next hour and a half.
Would you check something out? I'm thinking either a brief fuel or spark problem. Maybe the fuel pickup tube sucking somethng up? What else?
Thanks.
