Had a Yanmar 2GM on my previous boat. Regular service is the key to best performance on any engine. After 16 years, it might be a good idea. Benign neglect will do you in every time.

I wouldn't know where to start to trouble shoot....getting a mechanic to deal with it this week. I spoke to him and told him the situation and he thinks it is a fuel problem....engine not getting enough fuel....my fuel tank and fuel should be clean as I had the bottom of it replaced 2 years ago and the 2 fuel filters replaced. He thinks one or both of the filters are restricting the fuel flow.....I hope he is right but I don't think so. Possibly many are causes....restricted fuel injectors, fuel pump, etc. ....the engine has never been serviced in the 16 years I have had the boat Any insight or guidance to help greatly appreciated.
