Hi everybody,
I'm new to this thread and looking for some help diagnosing an issue. Late last season I was struck by lightening. Seem finally to be back on track after having to replace 100% of my electrical system. (Thank God for insurance!)... except for one thing:
In prior seasons I was able to hit max speeds of 40-45mph on my twin 2004 Bravo 5s. This year I'm maxing at 25-27mph in similar flat conditions. I am also noticing that from 2/3 to full-throttle there is zero increase in RPM or speed. I am maxing about about 4100RPM.
The only other item I need to share is that this season my in-dash speedo is not operating due to a clog in the I/O. When I referred to speeds in past seasons it was from the in-dash speedo. Whereas this year I am getting my speed reading from my Raymarine C80 GPS. In prior seasons I never bothered to compare the GPS speed to the in-dash speedo... so I'm not sure how closely they track to one another.
Does anybody have any insight to share? Trying to determine if this is (should be) part of my lightening strike repair punchlist...
Thanks in advance.
