I am at Fork for a couple of days and my boat isnt running right. I only have a few more days before I have to go back to New Jersey. The boat ran perfect the last time I had it out. Which was the JCO tourney in Aug or Sept I know letting it sit for months at a time is not good. Before I moth balled it, I used Stabil, filled it up with ethanol free gas, and cleaned the back well. I started it up this mornin and it sounded OK. When I went to get on plane I could only get about 3,000 RPMs. I do not remember when, but the water filters in the feul system have been recently changed. I did mess up when trying to start it the first time today. I pumped the bulb about three different times before realizing the kill switch was not in. Could this have fouled the plugs? I would really like to get ths thing on the water tomorrow. I know it will be a miracle but I dont have any more time... Sorry about the alcohol induced thread but I need some quick advice. I have searched beneath the cowling and have not found or smelled any excessive fuel leaks nor did I seee any burnt or disconnected wires. Help me please

If it is a carb motor I would say it is a plugged up jet. If its injected then I have no clue. Hope they get you back on the water ASAP.
Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

I have water coming out of the block in an area where I dont think there should be water. The gasket is blown out on some cover plate near the intake manifold. Putting it in the shop today. Doesn't look too good.
