Just took the boat out for the first time since I've owned it. Idled fine but would bog severely when hitting the throttle. <br />Got the boat home and began to investigate. When running the boat with the hose hooked up, I'm fairly certain the bottom cylinder is not firing. I can take the cap wire off and it does not change the idle. I took the either of the top 2 cap wires off and it would die---leading me to believe the bottom cylinder is not firing. The lower cylinder does not get warm either.<br />The plug shows no sign of firing. I can take hold the cap against the plug and it does spark but maybe not strong enough....<br />Any help is appreciated.<br />Dman

Switch two of the coils around, swap the top coil with the bottom coil. Now check to see if the top plug is firing. Hopefully it is just a bad coil. Not too expensive to replace.
