Default Re: mercury efi failure problem?? please help suggestions needed

Is there any audible alarm when this happens?? Is so, like Frank says, it could be going into safe mode... That limits the RPMs when the engine detects an issue like lack of oil or overheating.

If not, sounds like it might be starving for fuel. First thing I would try is running it off a portable tank. If it runs OK then you know you have an issue in your fuel system on the boat.

Once you elimate the fuel system on your boat, I would take it to a mechanic with diagnotic tools to trouble shoot.
