I am hoping someone can shed some light on this issue.
The past couple of times I have been out in my XLV, I sometimes have problems getting the boat past 2800 rpm's in choppy water. This past weekend it ran like a champ on Friday (it was also much more calm water and less wind).
Then come saturday, it was real choppy on the lake and pretty windy (lots of drag driving into the wind. We drove for a while around 3100 rpm's and it seemed fine but after slowing down to let some boats pass, i couldnt get it above 2700/2800 rpm's. It almost seemed like when i tried to throttle more the rpm's would just go lower. After anchoring for a while and listening to some tunes, started the boat back up and was able to go just like normal.
This has happend twice. both times the water has been real choppy and the wind was pretty bad and both times it gave the same exact problem.
Has anyone had this happen? I checked the gauges when this happens and it all seem to be normal. The engine is a CARB engine so im thinking that something to do with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
