Been a while since I have posted so I thought I would open e season with a question about a problem we have
Looking for ideas as to what the problem could be with our engine, up to 6kts no problem between 8 & 15kts we get a popping noise, miss fire, sounds like a car back firing but not as loud, ( initially it was loud)
Engineer (one of the better ones at cobbs quay) has looked at it, the boat had been serviced and de winterized, they then found it needed a new distributor cap and ignition sensor, took it out for a test run and called me to say all is ok...... It's not!
Yesterday we had a run out problem happens maybe only 4 or 5 times, today it was almost worse than it was when we discovered the problem , so I am £250 down and the problem is as bad is it was
Anyone got any ideas what could cause this
Engine is a 5l V8 mercruiser
