Well since this is still coming up, I'll give a 2022 update. The "quick and dirty workaround" became my permanent fix. It's worked great for the last 7 years. It actually slides quite smoothly and...

That's correct, the engine RPM would not go past 3000 regardless of how much throttle I applied. I do not remember any shaking.

No worries Shrew, yes it's the shore power panel, all AC circuits.

So, an update: I got the breaker out. There is a plastic cover on the front of the breaker panel that hides two screws. After removing those the breaker was free, but I also had to partly disconnect...

To the best of my knowledge, yes, it's original factory wiring. I'm not the original owner so it's possible he did something with it, but I doubt it.

Tried to remove the sender but the two screws wouldn't budge. I assume there's corrosion on the threads. I hit it with some penetrating oil to see if that loosens it up.

Since they are stuck,...

I don't know if they removed it. I attached a photo I just took of it. I don't see the tabs you mention. The wires are heading back towards the boat which seems right, but the words on the sendor are...

Engine stalls when throttling down

So, I brought my boat to my mechanic for a routine service, and an intermittent problem cropped up that they are having difficulty troubleshooting. I am hoping someone has seen this before.

OK so it looks like the pressure at the fuel rail has to be between 34 and 38 psi. I'll ask the mechanic what he measured. Sounds like you're saying the FPR up there could be faulty, and if it can't...
