Went to take the boat out Friday for a short sail .motoring out
heading into a12 knt breezestarted to increase the RPM's and found
the engine wouldn't rev about 2,100 RPM's marine diesel's are not
supposed to be that complicated but they are to me. I wouldn't know
where to start
Bottom and prop is cleanboat is launched every Spring after Winter
layup.
Checked the throttle cable and that seems to be finemost likely a
fuel issue

Revived the engine at the slip out of gear (neutral)same result,
tack goes up to +2,100 RPM's .providing more throttle does not
increase the RPM's. Pretty sure the tack is working just from the
sound of the engine and maximum hull speed it could attain (maybe 4 knots)

While I awaited another day for a marine mechanic to get around to
addressing my engine problem, while on the boat today, I thought of
something. I had a new Yanmar air filter on the boat which I got last
year, which I thought what harm could a new air filter dochanged out
the old one
Dave,
The truth be known, genius here 2 or 3 years ago took the old filter out
and it had pretty much had been disintegratednot having a new Yanmar
air filter, but the old metal ring, I took a piece of a sponge and cut
it to fit into the metal ring and thought it was all O.K. The sponge
