I had this problem and found that a plug wire was loose. You may have a bad plug or wire. Check your plugs to see if one looks fouled. |

I would guess that #4 is not firing well try swapping the coils around if there the same. Im thinking you have a bad coil. Put #4 plug back in #4 cylinder. If the coils can be swapped Im guessing the #4 plug will chang colors to look like the rest. |

#4 could be sucking in a little water too.. that'd keep it clean and cause it to not get good revs on the water. |

The best thing to do is remove the cylinder head. If water is getting in you will usually notice clean areas around the leaky spots. |
