Today after many weeks of flawless motor operation, when I was taking the boat up to the normal 3000 RPM for the spin around the lake, I noticed that at 2000 RPM the speed wasn't increasing. When I pushed the throttle further, there was a stutter or chopping noise coming from the motor. So I backed off and tried it a again, and got the same result.

So I let the motor rest of a couple hours and went back out. This time I ran the motor at 2000 RPM for 10 to 15 minutes before increasing the throttle. Got the same feedback. Anything over 2100 RPM, the motor was chattering, almost sound like it was missing.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
