Engine Bogging/Alarms

[gshaw54]

I have an Entec 115 on a 22 foot pontoon. The engine currently has 29 hours on it and was new last year. The first issue occured last year shortly after getting the boat. When the engine is ran at between 3 and 4k rpm an alarm sounds and the motor cuts power. you can move but wide open is barely moving and engins sounds throttled. I would have to turn it off and wait 20 minutes and then restart. This never occurs when under 3 or over 4k rpm. I can run all day at over or under but not between. Could not see alarm. It would be gone or never had flashed before the issue arose.
The second issue is that when the engine is stopped out on the lake (turned off and out of gear) upon restarting it will not rev up when engaged. I have to go into reverse and then into forward two or three times before it will rev up and the speed will be normal. Again it is like some fail safe mode and the engine is moving the boat but only at about 1/6th rpm. It sounds like it is bogging.
My dealer said to check prop size but that appears to be okay. (13.75x13). There is no alarm when the second problem occurs. One last point, this engine can only achieve 5400rpm. Dealer states it should max out at 6400. Any help would be greatly apprciated. I do not want to have to pull boat and transport back to dealer and they charge for a visit to the boat to scope it. please reply here or email me directly at gshaw54@gmail.com

Does this motor not have a warranty? Sounds like a sensor is acting up? Being a year old I would think warranty issue? Or, maybe a shift sensor adjustment?

Good luck. Sounds like a dealer setup issue, if not getting max RPMs?

Thanks

Thank you. I agree and the pontoon/engine are now in the dealers for them to scope out and repair.
