Okay i'm new to this forum I've had my 2013 SX190 for 2 years. Let me start off with this. Last year 2 times while out the boat wouldn't start. As if the fuel pump was not working. It finally did start and it didn't happen again all summer after those two instance.
This year we take the boat out, And at first seemed okay but almost felt like it had bad gas. The boat had half a tank in it when i put it away in november I only run 91-93 oct. and 99.9% sure i had non ethonal in the tank before i put it away for winter. I added 15-20 gals that dat before we went to the lake of 93 oct with Ethonal because I couldn't find Non that was 91 or 93 for some reason at the same place i had used last summer.
Boat started easily as it always has. We take off and boat seems to be running okay we ran for about 10 mins we shut down for a few mins to figure out where we are going to navigate to and are we swimming or pulling a tube first etc.
I start the boat back up and take of and still seems like it somewhat okay but maybe a little less power than usual. Then from then on it got worse and worse of lossing power. The idle started feeling odd but then it would clear up.
We would take off and some times get on plane and other times it would just stay at 6000-6200 rpm and go 12-14 mph. it would then hook up and go 30+ while it would be stuck at 12-14mph it would just randomly snap out of it THEN it would decelearate back down again. One time it was stuck at 12-14 and then 5 mins of that speed it just took of and ran like it should for about 2-3 mins and then boom right back to the slow unhappy boat. The boat had the same crew in it of kids and adults we had last year at this same lake when we had no issues flying down the lake previous year.
So i'm trying to figure out if i have bad fuel pump. Bad gas. I did determine that my Wear ring looks to be .500mm+ on one side and just under .500mm on the other side. Shaft seems tight prop looks perfect. Boat has about 150 hours on it. So i'm sure i may have some cavitation but for it just go and slow down and go and slow down seems weird to me and if it was caviation shouldn't i be able to still turn 7200+ rpm like I always have even if it was the Wear ring?
No warning lights have come up etc. The way it acted felt way to consistent for bad gas to be the issue but who knows. Any help would really be appreciated.
