Hello ALL!<br />I am new to the board and no outboard expert but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1997 90hp jet drive yamaha that is slowly losing rpm's over time. I purchased the motor a year ago and it was running strong at 5300 rpm. Over time the max rpm under load has dropped to 5000 rpm and seems to have lost a little bit of speed. I am wondering if anyone out there could give me advice on were to start troubleshooting or maybe even experienced this themselves.<br />thanks,<br />rpmichels
