"Hi there guys,
I just bought a '05 Bayliner 249 with mercruiser 5.0 MPI.
Here is the problem. We started the boat at the dealership I bought it and it started perfectly. Their service dept. did a compression and mechanical test and everything checked out fine. They even shoot a video of the boat running to show it ran perfectly.
I took it out on Saturday after I picked it up and it started perfectly at the marina. Batteries were a little weak but I figured they would charge during the ride.
After like 45 minutes in the intercostals a boat in front of me slowed down and I quickly slowed down to idle. When the engine got below 1000 rpms it just stalled. The boat would turn on in neutral and very accelerated. If we brought it back to idle it would turn off again. We were able to fire it back on to get to the ramp and again arriving to the dock the boat stalled.
No wierd noises or anything. When the boat was running it was perfect. Lots of power, picked up speed fine, exhaust was warm to touch, hoses seemed ok. From reading other posts, my guess is a dirty IAC.
Any thoughts???
Thanks,"
