We have a 26ft Apache Sea Master with a 2002 Honda BF200. When we first got the boat we could reach top end speeds of 35-40 mph RPM between 5500-6000. Currently we cannot get speeds to pass 24 mph and the rpms max out at 4200 this is with a single and multiple riders. We had the fuel injectors cleaned, and replaced the following. Fuel pump and screen, fuel regulator, map sensor, all filters (accept the screen in fuel rail), plugs, and throttle cables we set the cables per the service manual but it would not fully open so we adjusted cables to get WOT. We tried changing the prop and it did not matter. We checked the hull for water but not an issue. We even made sure the hull was clean little to no difference. Reading several strands we notice some articles that described the Etec not engaging and could be the IAC. We have no codes. Motor sounds good. Good compression. Could the mesh screen in the fuel rail and or the IAC be causing the problem. We are pre boating season in our area but trying to get a head start. Thanks for any help you can give us.
