engine bogges down under load

[rcmafgny]

Uopn accelerating after passing a no wake zone, the engine bogged down and didnt pop out of the water as it usually does. I backed off of the throttle and did it again and this time it was fine. Running back to my dock, i tried to recreate the issue and it did it one more time, again after accelerating hard form an idle. I also ran it wide open for a minute at time to try to blow out anything that may have been lodged in the filter? Didnt seem to help / hurt. Idles fine.
The engine is a 8.1L with about 300 hours on it. short list of things to look at / replace?
Thanks

Check wires and plugs if not done recently that's if fuel filters have been changed just my .02

I had a similiar issue last year. Had the carbs rebuilt and it fixed the problem. Of course I changed the plugs, wires, dist cap, rotors and fuels filters before I did the carbs. It was a trail and error process for me. Engines have been running great since I did all this, so it was worth it.

I agree with Mainstream. Even if the plugs look good, one may not be firing properly under load but firing ok at idle. All my plugs looked the same. Once I replaced all the plugs the problem was resolved...

Have you checked for a line/debris around the prop?

 

[rcmafgny]

Thanks! I'll give you a bizz if i hit a snag. You changed the filter for Mike @ Liberty Landing... Seems pretty straight forward.

Have your mechanic check your fuel pressure. Your problem sounds just like what I was experiencing.

It could also be a problem with the cool-fuel module caused by ethanol dissolving the paint on the inside of the module. If you are not familiar with this problem, then I suggest you read this thread. http://clubsearay.com/showthread.php/51399-*Gen-3-Cool-Fuel-Module-Issue*?highlight=paint
