I have just put my 17ft fletcher in the water for the first time this year after checking it all over mechanicaly-new impeller,plugs,clean fuel filter,check fuel pump diapham,check and clean carbs+new fuel.
The problem that I seem to have is when I put the throttle to full, the boat accelerates up to 3000-3500 rpm then seems to bog down a bit then carries on to wot at 5200 rpm with me in the boat only. It did not hit any flat spot last year and acclerated smoothly to all the way to wot 5200rpm.
Also while testing it, at a couple of times it seemed to get stuck around the 4000-4500 rpm limit for a very short while like it needed more fuel.
The outbord revs cleanly , idles well, trolls well,no problem on the plain at 3000-3500 rpm,
I brought the boat home,checked fuel pump,and filter, tank primer bulb and cant seem to find anything wrong.
Please anyone have a possible idea.could it be something serious internally?
