I have a 2002 Regal LSC (Volvo Penta 5.0) -> MERC High-Five 21P Prop
I am recently having issues with performance, particularly planeing. It will not launch as it did before, and takes 45 seconds to plane, even at plane the RPM's will not get above 3500.
At first I assumed I sucked up some fishing line or blew a prop hub. After removing the prop, there was nothing there and the hub and prop are in great condition. Also checked throttle cable which also working fine. Did notice prop missing one vent hole cap (not sure if always had) but would be shocked if that is the cause.
Engine runs great, and will rev out fully in neutral, seems to be having this issue with a load on it.
Any thoughts before I idle her to marina?
