[QUOTE="gajet31, post: 170633, member: 3832"] Good News!!!! I decided to take the time to call the folks at Troutt and Sons today. I was half way through describing the problem when Joe interrupted to tell me the solution. Great service and I want to publicly acknowledge them for the help. Joe told me the problem sounds like it is in the power head, and it most likely dealt with the electronic rev limiter. From what I understand, when I go full throttle (which is both when I hammer down to get on plane, and when I am running wide open), the engine is pushing too many RPM's which is causing it to hit the rev limiter. This is what the cavitation-like noise is. In order to fix it, Joe told me I can easily unplug the rev limiter. Now I pose my questions to yall.... How does this whole rev limiter thing work, I don't full understand how it works within the motor? And secondly, wouldn't removing the rev limiter be bad for my motor? I truly believe this is the problem, and I hope I can do the work and run the boat this weekend to test it out. Any further help is greatly appreciated. I am also posting this on the motors section to see if it drums up any excitement over there. [/QUOTE]
