Two Lakes...
Yesterday punched the clock at 3:30, hooked up w/buds and headed to Lake Hartwell to search out more schooling stripers...pulled boat outta shed, got bait, splashed and headin' across water at 6:30...only boat goin' REEL SLOW :-/ ...normally 30mph at 4400 rpms...only doin' 24 mph :-/...motor sounds good, not missin' or skippin'...so I spend the day runnin' around at 5 grand to get 30 mph...good news; we get into some more good schools just BUSTIN' IT!! 8) ...catch fish for a while ;D...then move on...find more schools...catch more...move on...LOTTA FUN!!...
Called Honda Dude; told him what happenin'; says to bring it to him...so after the fish turn off, we drive right by the storage shed, pullin' the "V" back home ::) ... Get it to Dealer...3 guys workin' on it immediately 8) ... determine plugs need changin'...at $20.99, I tell 'em to go ahead...run it up to Lake Bowen (20 mins), splash and run...problem solved!! The computer in this motor compensates for cylinder failure...w/one plug not firing at all, it ran smooth as silk, started no problem, got rpms up to 6 grand at WOT ... ;) ...

Re: Two Lakes...
Glad it was an easy fix.
I think spark plugs were the difference in mine running 35 mph @ wot and 40 mph @ wot. I had put in new plugs between the 2 runs.

Man, I was thinking 20.99 for a set of plugs was kinda high........$20.99 for one is a 10-91 (robbery).

Re: Two Lakes...
Oh dang, $20.99 for each plug - they better have at least a quarter ounce of gold in each one!
