Buddy's boat is a 1875 Pro V with a 175 verado. The boat typically pushes 50 mph. Today the motor was reving and seemed to bog down at about 40 mph. Anytime the motor was throttled up over about 38 mph the motor started reving and losing power. Boat ran fine at lower rpms. Any ideas? The local shops are booked solid for over a week.

Thx

I doubt its the hub. typically when they are bad the boat wont get on plane. that's a supercharged motor. could be a simple sensor or a blower issue.

Problem was a bad spark plug. Runs fine now. Thx for the advise.
