Im down that much too, cant turn the rpm in this hot weather. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
After reading this I realized that mine has lost about the same. I couldn't figure out why. What causes this?
Hot air is less dense, holds less O2 per cu ft. Hotter air also holds more humidity. All of this affects horsepower.
