I have a hydra sport vector 2000 cuddly cabin fishing boat that the check engine light will come for a short amount of time then cut back off. I have had the boat about 2 years but just not really getting the opportunity to use it. When I am full of gas then engine will not run over 4000 RPM. Once I reach half a tank or less I can sometimes run up to 4500 RPM but usually a little lower. The boat didn’t have spark a few weeks ago so I brought it to my mechanic for a quick fix for a Bahamas trip. He replaced the power pack, stator, and trigger. It had a small miss which he said was from sitting and that I should run the engine hard with sea foam. A long slow trip later, there is no miss and the engine sounds great now but the check engine light has began coming off and on since I got here and still won’t run over 4000 rpm. Does the engine not have enough power to push the boat with 70 or 80 gallons of fuel? Everyone around is saying I should run 30 mph but I am having a very hard time getting to 15. I replaced fuel filter and primer bulb the day before the trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would rather not cross back like this if possible.
