I bought a new 165 I’d with the 300 ace in it. We got to 5 total hours on it today using correct break in procedure.( this is not my first new boat). About 2 minutes after we hit 5 hours we had the throttle stop working until you pulled it to idle then throttled up again. It happened randomly for about 10 minutes then we got a check engine light. Idk where to even start.

Well, before we start spending tons of time troubleshooting... don't you have a dealer? You should start there. They can WAY better diagnose than us remotely. It's brand new.... check engine lights come with codes. Codes are in the settings if they are active.
