I have a 27 ft catamaran with 2 2006 DF175 Suzuki 4 stroke outboards.
The starboard engine cuts out intermittently at around 3000 RPM and then comes back on at about 2800 RPM. If I throttle down it will run fairly steady at 2800 RPM. Each motor has its own fuel tank. Since I have 2 of the same motors, I have been swapping suspect parts to see if problem moves to other motor. I have swapped plugs and coils, neutral switch, High Pressure fuel pumps, low pressure fuel filter, ECU. No luck. There are times when the problem goes away and the motors will both run great for hours. Then the cutting out will come back without warning. This makes the boat unreliable to go offshore and I never see any check engine lights. I have pulled the fuel pickup tubes out of the gas tanks and they look good. I have replaced the fuel hoses from the tanks to the water seperators, and from the seperators to the bulkhead fittings near the engines. I am starting to draw a blank on what could be causing this issue.
I always use marine 90 fuel. I keep the tanks full. I have swapped fuel hoses from 1 motor to the other and problem persists.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
