I am having trouble losing power on my 1988 Four Winns 215 Sundowner. It has a OMC outdrive on it and 305 Chevy motor with a Quadro jet carb. Yesterday when I took the boat out with 5 people the boat was barely moving. I saw I had some water in my bildge so put it back on the trailer drained it and took it back out. Bilge isn't hooked up. I ran fine then with three of us on it. Then we parked for awhile started up and it did the same thing. So I brought it home changed the fuel filter and looked around and everything looked ok. However over the past few weeks when I use the trim button I sort of get a shock and my battery was also draining if I didn't run the boat for a few weeks. So I stated using my on and off dual switch and the battery stays charged. So I headed back to the water to take one last look before I brought it to the marina. This time the boat wouldn't start. I had nothing when I turned the switch. The battery was still fine. So I played with the handle and finally I got the boat started. So than I hit the water and I noticed everytime I used the handle and hit the trim switch that I was feeling a decline in the speed I had. The boat this time was going faster than earlier but still not it's maximum speed. Is it possible that cause there is a short in the handle somewhere that it's taking that much from the motor or what could it be?? Please help. It's going to be another nice weekend. Shane
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this boat??
