I recently purchased a used boat which had a 1998 Yamaha Pro V 150 on it. The boat ran fine for a while. Yesterday it started off running fine. My last stop fishing was about 1.5 miles from where I placed the boat in the water.
As I tried to come back on plane the motor would not get over 2000 RPMs and an audible alarm started sounding. The motor ran perfectly until it reached 2000 RPMs and would start to sputter and the alarm would sound.
I had to make the 1.5 mile run at about 4 miles an hour back to the ramp. I stopped several times to allow the motor time to "rest" but that did not help. It repeated the low RPM each tme i tried to get under way.
Any ideas on what might cause this?
