I have 1999 Colbalt with a 454 Mag EFI that has 300 hours of run time. I've only had this boat for 3 months and the first time I had it out on the water the max RPM"s were 4800. Now after have it out over 8 times the RPM's are down to 4200. No misfires or unusual running of engine. I have replaced the gas/water separator and cleaned the flame arrestor(was pretty dirty). The plugs showed signs of the engine running a bit rich and had some signs of wear. I have a new set of quick burn plugs ready for install.
Is their anything else I can check to rid this problem?
