i just had my 10 hours on the 165. I brought it in and they did the service. Before the service the engine would not go past 7000 rpm. I thought that was the break in mode. After the service the boat will still not go past 7000. The dealer said they cleared the service code so not sure why it is not. Anyone have any thoughts

After 8hrs you should be getting 7800-8000 rpm at 51-54 mph depending on boat and water/wind conditions.
