I have a 2007 Formula 382 Fastech with twin Mercury 700 SCi's and NXT drives. The motors used to turn 5,200 RPM (+/-). Now BOTH motors will only turn 4,000 RPM (+/-). The only changes made between when the motors ran 5,200 and 4,000 is removal of the anti-siphon valve from the fuel system, replacement of the fuel water separators and replacement of all spark plugs in both motors.
I have run through 3 tanks of fuel since the motors would only turn 4,000 RPM, so I do not believe it is the quality of the fuel. The boat is stored on a trailer so it is not build up on the bottom of the boat.
My mechanic has also plugged into the motors and they show 100% throttle and are not in guardian mode. No codes have been set.
Anyone have any insight as to what may be causing this issue?
Thank you!
