Please HELP!!!<br /><br />My local mechanic has exhasted his efforts on my motor (he has admitted to hating 235's).<br /><br />I run my 235 on a 17' tri-hull skiboat, using a 23-pitch prop. I know that seems like a steep prop, but this boat used to pull teams of skiers with that prop!<br /><br />My problem is this: the boat idles rough. When i attempt to pull up a skier, the motor boggs down and dies. After it dies, its hard to even get it running good enough to get on plane. It doesn't have enough power to drive on the trailer, we have to float it.<br /><br />If i run it at fast idle long enough it will clear up enought to get upto planing speed. Once the motor hits midrange power and the boat has planed it'll run at max RPM with no problems. It just has no power on takeoff.<br /><br />I can't decide if its flooding or starving. I'm investigating both and looking for advice.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Keith
