This past season I had the opportunity to purchase from a family member who passed away a 2002 Sea Doo Utopia 205 which has the mercury optimax 250 3.0L V6 M2. Took the boat out for the first time ever and it ran great but smelled like it was running rich (by the exhaust fumes) but not so bad. We did encounter the four beeps (checked oil it was perfect) and just paid no bother. Second time I took the boat out ran well for 15 minutes and then when I gave it WOT it would not perform and we could only get up to 1500 rpms and go about 5 to 7 miles per hour. Still heard the four beeps and then took back to the trailer and home. Did some research and removed the fuel filter and found some water in the fuel filter. Replaced the filter and sensor tonight and finally started it up (which starts up perfectly no issues at all and idles at about 1000 rpm) and when I did the WOT it only went to 2000 - 2500 rpms. I had the hose hooked up and everything. The four beeps came back and I assume I need a new canister.
So my questions are
What could be my potential problems which I am not getting WOT then I put down the throttle? Most I get is between 2000 to 2500 (which seems better after I did the fuel filter because I was only getting about 1500RPM)?
Can you get WOT out of the water (sounds like a stupid question but I have to ask. I have extensive auto mechanic skills and ATV dirt bike skills as well)
Can you run and test the boat out of the water without taking it in the water to test it?
After the fuel filter the fumes were very very strong where it was burning your eyes if you were five to ten feet behind the boat.
Could it be the TPS or one of the temp sensors (where are they located and how many does the motor have?)?
Interesting point after running for three mins with the hose connected and out of the water it was giving a solid beep (overheating but why it had the hose hooked up)?
Please all help is appreciated we want to bring the boat to the shore in three weeks and I need to get it running.
