Towards the end of a 5 hour trip over the Easter break I noticed the revs on the engine drop some 200 rpm and then return to where the throttle was set. This happened in smooth water so I cannot lay the blame on water in the fuel.
Travelling at 6.5 kts at 1780 revs. Motor has 1360 hours on the meter.
Fuel filters checked and there was no water and no 'black death' to clog the filter.
Tanks were near full and distillate had been treated with anti-fungal additive.
This occurred 5 or 6 times on the return journey.
Any ideas what I should be looking at? Injecters. Fuel Pump or injector pump?
