Engine hesitation while accelerating
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 3:51 pm
Hey everyone,
I just bought a 1994 scarab 22 with a 350 merc. I ran it all weekend for the 4th. The boat sounds and runs great! The one thing I noticed, only here and there is when I go to plane the boat out sometimes It appeared I would lose power, the engine would almost skip/hesitate then pick back up. It didn't happen every time just once in a while. Once up on plane the boat flies even with camping gear and 4-5 people. Out of the hole shot though it struggled a little when that would happen. Any idea what that might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim
