Ok for starters this boat has been in all three shops around here. The shoos say they cannot reproduce the problem. This boat will run fine for a week or maybe just a few days. Then bam hard to start then wont idle. I can put the boat in the water and idle fine. The run to a fishing hole where we sit all day. When I start it up and give it gas it hesitates and jumps real hard and dies. Then takes for ever to start. When I do get it started it wont idle I have to jam it in gear and hold it at least half way to get it to move. Once going I can run it wot at 5200 rmps. It runs great from half to full throttle. Get across the lake to go to the dock as soon as I try to putter in it just dies. Any help would be great.
