55hp Seapro Power Issue

[ggillespie]

Hey everyone,

Have a 2005 55hp Merury Seapro. Engine starts normally and idles normally but loses power when sailing for maybe two or three seconds, sometimes more, then regains power. I am not a great small engine mechanic but can do basic things. Just wondering where I should start. Never had an issue before with the engine.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Sounds like fuel starvation. Check for good venting of the tank and for air leaks in the line.
