Idle doesn't always settle...
Hello!! I bought a Mobius XLV back in April and LOVE the boat! I enjoy skiing, footing, and, of course wakeboarding. It does surprisingly well for skiing (what do you expect from a wakeboarding boat), no problems footing, and, of course, the wakeboarding has been phenomenal.
I've had a couple of issues since buying the boat which have been resolved by the dealer. However, I am still having a problem where the boat doesn't settle into idle very well. Let me explain an example scenario:
1. Slowly idling up (or down) the river at 1000rpm.
2. Pull back the throttle to neutral.
3. Engine stays idling high (maybe 1100rpm).
4. I give the throttle a quick little hit.
5. The engine revs a little (because I gave it a little hit), then settles nicely down to 660rpm.
The real problem comes in when I'm towing somebody. Let's say I'm towing one of the little ones and the speed creeps up to 17mph. I start to pull back on the throttle. Nothing happens. Pull back a little more. Nothing happens. Pull back a little more, wham the R's drop considerably and the poor rider feels the boat slack off. I recover quickly, but that is no fun for the youngersters being towed.
Any suggestions?When you walk through the waters, I will be there. Isaiah 43:2
