[QUOTE="gajet31, post: 169554, member: 3832"] Thanks for all the input. Yesterday I took off the intake and checked the distance between the impeller and the casing. It was fine. I also checked the fuel filter and the spark plugs in case it was an obvious problem. Took it to the lake, still had the same problem. So I spoke with a few knowledgeable people about the topic today. Everyone I talked to said it does not sound like a powerhead problem. They have all told me there is some sort of cavitation problem, which is just hard to believe, but they all think that is it. Even though nothing has changed since I last ran it (and it worked fine), I am going to adjust the plate that helps the water flow from the boat to the intake. If that makes no difference, I am going to to try pounding out the dents on the bottom of the boat. I think the fact that it is a cavitation problem is a good thing, it is easier and less expensive to fix, unless I have to buy a new boat! I will update the progress, hopefully I can get everything worked out before my big duck hunt in 2 weekends. [/QUOTE]
