sounds like the mechanical "diverter" is stuck between thru and hub exhaust position. Could be a solenoid or relay?

I agree with others, sounds like you have a sticking solenoid on the exhaust diverter pipe. You can go to www.boatstoreonline.com and order the part direct if you want to replace it yourself they are usually either the 3 or 4 wire type.

My experience is, one it starts sticking, it will eventually fail completely before too long.

I bought my 2003 292 with 130 hours, and the previous owner must have had a real issue with the diverters going bad - My boat came with FOUR brand new in the box spares. But in 3 years and over 100 hours I have yet to have one go bad (knock on wood).
