New owner of a 2006 340 with 8.1s. Did the Sea Trial and everything good. When bringing it home down the Chesapeake, started to loose acceleration in the starboard engine. Was able to maintain 3300 RPMs with the throttle maxed. It was about a 3 hour journey and this started about a hour into it. I have changed the fuel filter and om waiting for a decent day to take her out and see if that helped. (weather not been cooperating). If no improvement, was going to change plugs and see if that helped. Could this be a fuel cooling issue ? I have seen bits and pieces about fuel cooling, but nothing as to what problems it causes.
