If I remember correctly, that is a Volvo Penta engine/drive combo. I would bet that it is a fuel pressure issue. The fuel system on your boat has two pumps. The low pressure pump and Hi-presure pump are located on the same bracket on the front of the engine. There is also a water line running to the system to cool the fuel. The low pressure pump pulls fuel from the engine feed line and feeds the hi-pressure pump next to it. The water circulates around a fuel bladder to cool the fuel before/after it runs through the rail at around 40psi. All this needs to work together or you get a rough runnin' engine. Other than that, you probably need a good tune up. If you will get it down to the shop this week, we will handle it for you. I will bring my Volvo software with me to the Lake this week. Glad the "Pinky" boat is doing well.

Respectfully,
Steve
