Haven't been on the forum for a while with a crazy busy schedule. Now that the boat is winterized I have a few issues to discuss...
-Our port engine has been weak since day one. When at low speeds (close to idle) I hear a clicking/grinding noise that is very unpleasant. We already replaced the IAC (idle air control) this year but we still get an occasional stall-out. Our mechanic is having trouble determining the source of the problem. He suggested faulty/aftermarket manifolds?
-This is our most recent issue. With twin 350 mags this boat is no speed demon but we've successfully topped out at 33 mph with a light chop. Towards the end of the season, even after all the filters were cleaned/ replaced, the boat barely tops out at 16 mph with two people and a full gas tank. This is concerning and we honestly just didn't have the time to look into it before the end of the season.
I would really appreciate any and all feedback!
