Just bought a 2002 for 80 sedan bridge with QSM 11’s in it. We ran about 70 miles and at that time we were running about 1600 RPMs due to some rough weather, and all of a sudden the port motor reduce itself to 1280. We reduce the power to an idle, took it out of gear, and the port motor ran the RPMs all the way up. Put it back in gear and the port and starboard motor rpms rose all the way up just like it should up to 1280 and then the port motor stoped there. The starboard motor continued higher but as i pushed the port throttle higher there is no response.
At the time the engine synks were on, but there was no difference whether the engine synk was on or off The port motor will still not go higher than 1280. (when we first tried to use the engine sink initially it didn’t work we had to turn it back off back on back off and back on again and then it started working). The boat is equipped with cruise and the cruise switch was in the off position.
we pulled into a marina changed all the fuel filters still had the issue so we had a diver. Check to make sure we didn’t have anything wrapped around the shaft or the prop. Nothing was there, but the driver did find that the sink on the shaft on the port side was loose and was down in the cutlass bearing and was wearing a ring around the sink. I don’t really think that’s the issue. Has anyone ever seen this before or know what it could be?
