"I just receive 2 weeks ago in
"I just receive 2 weeks ago in Europe new Chaparral ssi 235 with Volvo 5.0 GXI MPI engine. At the begining I was running the boat slowly because of the new engine. After 10 hours of running in about 2-3 days I started to fill the speed of the boat. The problem begin if the fuel tank is full and if 4 adults are on the boat it plane very hard. Everybody need to come at the front of the boat, the trim is down and we must wait approx 30 sec after full throtle in order to begining to plane. It seems that is sticking on 2500-2600 RPMs and hardly reaches 2800. When reach 2800 then easy is going up to 3600 and its running well. If I go on longer distances after 20 min of driving it seems that is loosing power. Instead of 70% throtle I need to push 100% in order to keep the same RPMs (ex 3200) and the engine is becoming louder. Its quiet only when it's cool!? The boat now has 35 hours only, its almost new and this problem really frusrates. The boat is designed for up to 12 persons and if 8 people enter it will never plane even with half or 1/4 tank. Any idea how I can fix this problem, maybe how I can tune so to have more power between 2500 - 2800 RPMs. Thank You"
