Hi,

I have a 89 Johnson 200 that starts and runs fine from the dock. I cross the same stretch of water often and in about the same spot (15 minutes into the the ride) it feels like it looses about half the power. if I idle down to a stop it idles fine but when I try to get back on plane it has a hard time. If I idle down and turn the motor off and then back on it usually runs fine with full power again.

I'll stop and fish and then when I head home it may or may not happen again. When it does I have to stop and turn off the motor and fire it back up to get the full power back.

Any help is much appreciated.
