hey everyone... i have a question and maybe someone has gone through this too. i have a 1988 four winns horizon 200 with a cobra 350... heres the problem... if i go WOT it will reach about 3500 to 4000 rpms sit there then start to kind of bog, the engine will slow down and once in a while it will back fire... it only does this at WOT... if i back the throttle off about 10% she runs smooth and steady and will run at about 35 to 40 mph... any ideas?! oh and by the way it has a mercruiser carb i dont know if that would cause it or not... i just got this boat after selling my carver... thanks everyone! :)

Re: bog?

yeah i was thinking the same thing... im going to replace the pump filter and lines this week and see what happens... on a side note this is the coolest boat i have owned yet.. i always loved the four winns... do you think its possible that the mercruiser carb is too low of a cfm rating?

Donno,... You haven't told Us what it is....

Probably just needs a Rebuild Kit installed,....
