Hi all,
first of all i'd like to introduce myself. My name is Philipp and i'm here for 3 years. This year i decided to buy me a boat. It is a 1995 17Ft. Four Winns Freedom with an 3.0 OMC Cobra i/O.
The boat runns great and i have a lot of fun with it. But I found in the spec. that the max RpM should be 4200-4600. When im driving with full throttle im only reaching something around 3000 RpM.The boat is equipped with 19'' propeller.
With that Rpm you have 2/3 of the throttle open. If you now got to WOT the engine doesn't rotate faster, but its getting a deeper sound like it wants to have more air or fuel...
So next idea was, to check fuel pump and fuel filter, but i have only found the pump. No idea how to check that?
Can you expirienced guys help me how do i find out if there is a filter, where is the filter and how do i check it if it is cloaked or clean.
And how do i find out igf the pump is working popably or not?
Thanks for your help.
