So i need some help. I took the boat out for the first time this season and it started just fine, the engine would rev in neutral when the throttle was engaged, but once in forward gear it wouldn't pass 1500 rpm no matter how much throttle was open. i shut down the engine and replaced the fuel filter, no change was noticed. after restarting, an hour later the tachometer flickered and the engine died. we tried to restart the engine but would only die after starting for a moment. after letting the engine cool for an hour it would start again, but no throttle response above 1500 rpm still, and the engine continued to die about one hour into the journey.
any help or suggestion on what might be the culprit?
here's some things I already checked:
the exhaust valve on the gas tank was clear,
fuel lines were clear and flowing
fuel pump pumping fuel
fuel filter replaced
