Hello first time here - I have a 2007 Wake Edition 215 owned since new - the boat starts and runs fine except it does not rev above 5000 rpm. Not sputtering, not bogging - behaving normally. I am using the yellow key. Went through a tank of new gas, put in new plugs - no change. Seems like it's in learner mode - but again am using the yellow key. Any troubleshooting advice? Thanks.

Sounds like you might have lost boost. Does this still have the old ceramic washers? If so, check you didn't lose them.
If you lost the washers, you have a major project on your hands and may have caused damage by running the ski. Better check out the SC before running ski again.

Hello - I do not have the SC engine. So it's a 155 not a 215. Sorry about that.

Did you check the waterbox and the exhaust system? some times you have problems there.... I had once, when the water box broke up in pieces internally.
There are so many causes of this kind of situation, basically one of two general things, either a loss in power from the engine or a problem with the propulsion system. (while a bad impeller or wear ring usually causes RPM at the limiter with lower speed or cavitation, it is possible for there to be impeller damage that limits RPM.
Are there any faults, indicated by a Maintenance warning, check engine light?
Low RPM from low engine power an be caused by many reasons, unfortunately:
- Oil level too high, should not be above the center of the oil range on dipstick.
- Exhaust leak, run ski with seat off and see if you gain RPM
- Low fuel pressure, faulty fuel pump or clogged filters, need to check pressure
- Bad spark plugs
- Bad fuel
- Low compression on one or more cylinders
- MAP sensor faulty
- Throttle cable not adjusted properly, not allowing throttle plate to fully open
- TPS not set properly
Probably several more that I cannot think of right now…..
