The story...
This morning the fam and I hopped into the boat and drove to our favorite hangout spot about 20 minutes away. Had a nice day and when it was time to leave, I started the boat (no problems), let it warm up a few minutes, pulled the anchor and began to drive off. I had to navigate though the 100s of boats still anchored, so I was going as slow as possible. About 3 minutes into our journey (still going as slow as the boat would go), the boat stalled and wouldn't start back up. I tried a few times...no start. Finally, I tried pushing the button (neutral) on the throttle and tried starting it by giving it some gas and it DID START! Great. so then I let off the gas to get it out of neutral and to put it in gear. As soon as I let off the gas, it stalled again.
I was able to make it back to my marina by starting the boat while reving the engine and VERY quickly putting it into gear and giving it gas. But as soon as I got to my marina where I needed to slow down to as slow as the boat would go, it would stall.
So that's where I stand now. THe boat will start as long as I push the button and start it with the throttle down. Then I can lower the RPMs to as low as 840 without it stalling. But if I bring the throttle back down below 840 RPMs, it will stall.
So in summary, the boat runs great above 840 RPMs (whether in neutral or in gear). But if the boats RPMs drop below that (whether in neutral or in gear) it will stall.
Any mechanical/boat people out there have any ideas?
Thanks,
John

got the same boat.there is a filter in the fuel injection pump stainless steel screen
you have to take it apart to get to it.
Shops will try to sell you a new ones but easy to do it your self
