Hello,
I am proud owner of a 1997 Sea Ray Dancer alpha drive and I had it out in the water about 6 times and I am encountering a problem. The problem has happen twice so far. It seems to happen when I'm over 3400 RPM. The motor seems to be straining but the boat is actually loosing speed. The engine also seems to be making more noise than usual. It kind of reminds me of a slipping transmission. The last time this has happen I slowed below 2.5K RPM and let it sit for a minute and the problem went away when I brought it back up to speed. Did I buy a lemon? I had it checked out buy a professional surveyor, so I tried to cover all my bases. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Very nervous Sea Ray owner.
