2005 268 Vista, VP 8.1l Gi-F, 120 hours, stored inside
The problem I am having is usually the first time I take the boat out on the weekend, once I leave the marina and start to get on plane the boat is obviously lacking power. Once I get onto plane, for the first 20-30 seconds I can feel an intermittent "hesitation" then power comes right back up. The most extreme case of this was last weekend when it felt like the motor actually died for a couple seconds, then it came back to full strength. After the first 2-3 minutes the boat runs like normal and will for the rest of the weekend, even the first time out the next day it seems to be fine.
I plan on checking (in this order) 1) Fuel Filter, 2) Plugs, 3) Injectors, 4) ?
The odd part to me is why it only does it the first time out and after that it runs like normal.
Any ideas on what this could be to help me out or probable contributing problems?
