Hi All
Port engine starts, revs fine but when out on water and I give it gas it stalls and bogs down sometimes causing engine to stall. suggestions for others says prop issue??

thanks

Did this happen all of a sudden or what happened right before this stated to occur?

Any maintenance performed before this?

Ran the boat to empty and then refueled?

Happened all of a sudden while out . No maintenance or anything done recently.

Can't imagine how a prop would do that. Run bad/vibration, sure - but not what you have going on. Revving in neutral means nothing - gotta have a load on it. A prop issue is also rather easy to check/see.

You have only one tank, so it's unlikely to be a fuel quality issue, but you can dump the fuel-water separator into a clear jar just to double check that nothing got into that filter.

-- It could be a supply issue, though. Anti-siphon, failing internal fuel line, etc.

-- Check for fuel pressure at the rail.

Thanks. Will check
