My motor is all stock and on a gatortrax boat. Went for about an hour long trip through the backwaters. I had coolers and other stuff, my wife and two kids who are 2 and 6, and 2 other kids in the boat. Weighing a good amount I went with it and surprisingly the boat was doing fairly good running around 23-24 or so. About half way through the trip, while hitting my same rpms as before (4000) I was only running 16-17. I ended up stopping at some point, and got back on plane and it ran like a scolded dog back at 23-24. What Happened? What could it be? Is there something out of adjustment? It has about 100 hrs on it. |

Check valves, make sure fuel is good, check for air leaks in the fuel line. Check for air leaks in the intake/Carb. I don't know what causes what you are describing. But those are the first things I'd check. |

If your rpms stayed the same then i cant call that a loss of power. Any chance it just had a bit grass etc stuck on shaft in front of prop? |

Deeper water, rougher water, current, wind...something that was just enough to keep you from getting completely up on plane. Probably not an issue with the motor. |

Thanks guys. I'm hoping no issues. I guess I should be able to tell for sure next time I run it without a heavy load. |
