engine would cut power under wot like it was running on 3 then 4 then 3 cyls etc. had bad ignition switch too, had to hold key in on pos for 5-50 seconds then engine would turn over. put new one in and starts instantly now the engine sounds like it goes into safe mode. idles great, wake speed is great, a little more throttle like 12-15 mph is great. than anymore than that the engine hits a limiter. on start up only rev limit light comes on then quickly goes out like it should ive read. nearest dealer is in another STATE!!! any ideas would be greatly appreciated, very problematic motor for me, nothing but trouble.

searched for 2 hours on this site and found nothing, thanks!

All the warning lights should come on and the alarm should sound during the self test. From all your posts, it sounds like this boat has either gone under water at some point or someone has messed with the wiring without knowing what they were doing..
