I was out today and lost RPMs. At WOT I was only getting 5k. No beeps, got out of the hole fine and cruised fine. Any ideas?

Any recent changes? Poles added? Prop changed, or repaired?
Nope, boat ran fine earlier in the day. Was going to my next spot and wouldn’t go above 5, wasn’t like it was rev limited, water pressure was fine, just wouldn’t go almost like I had a parachute behind me

I had a fouled plug. Was exactly 3 years old and due to be changed. Thanks for the help
Way overdue for plugs, but I would also check the coil output voltage on that cylinder, Hell check them all at, as well as testing the plug wires for leaks and opensOriginally Posted by Mbeason
Thank You Leon Pugh
I thought they were to be changed every 3 years or 100hr?
how many hrs where on plugs ? which cyl was it on ? might wanna check your thermostats also for debri opti not bad about just fouling a plug mabe running lil cool on one side causing rich running condition
