Post Newer Gatortail running at 3500 RPMS help please
Good morning, This may be self induced? I washed the crap out of my motor 2018 GTRXD 37EFI changed oil and transmission oil greased all fittings and greased lower unit. After that I went gigging and boat seemed to not run at full power??? Started good idles good. But wont get up on plane and run right??? What did I do? Because it ran fine before I did work. Now I washed it real good lots of water and simple green. PLEASE HELP

Any chance of a video? I would like to know if it's weak on 1 cyl or evenly weak on both. It could just be coincidence that you washed it

Will C I was going to do a video but she ran great Friday? Yes firing on both cylinders. I do not know what was going on. Maybe just a heavy load? But I have had same load before and ran fine. I believe I need to do some motor upgrades.

That's what I am worried about I didn't do anything. I did have 7 batteries and 3 men in the boat BUT as I stated done that before without issue. Question would I be better off running my 2 blade prop or 3 blade with a heavy load?
