Limited RPM's
As it was both engines acting identical (Mercruiser 350's), I assumed maybe bad gas, filters or something related so had a complete service performed last fall.
Was out a couple weeks ago and same thing happened? Could this be sensor or electrical related?

Re: Limited RPM's
Most of the good techs moved to the money after 2008 when local marinas couldn't or wouldn't pay them good wages year round.
Cant blame them.

Normally just give her a bump and good to go. When I did RPM's did not increase in spite of pushing both throttles to full and would not get above 3000. Normally when jumping up on plane I can get North of 4000 if I want to and cruise around 3100.

Any update?
