Hello all;
Never had an issue with power on my boat (2006 Moomba Mobius LSV) before, so i have been thinking up what it may be since yesterday up north before i could get back to you guys..
Noticed it when i load up the gravity I and 2x 550's in the rear... the boat just took ages to get up on plane (this boats usually just tears it up to on plane). So i emptied all the ballast and noticed it still wasn't too happy accelerating (mean while, once your up to speed she is fine).
It almost feels like the prop is spinning and the boat goes nowhere for a second or so and you throw down more power and it drags itself up to speed slower then normal.. (seems to be more throttle is needed then before to reach same performance)
Engine Oil
Pressure is fine. (Level is good)
Transmission Fluid
Haven't been able to check yet
V-Drive Oil
Seems *VERY* low, I just got it changed when it was winterized and it only has about 10-20 hours on since then.
Could low v-drive oil be the cause of the slow acceleration (the sort of power struggle to get this beast moving)?
Attached (Showing you on paper towel when the v-drive fluid is at, NOTE: This is a cold engine, been off about 20 hours)
Thanks guys, always appreciate your help!
