My boat, a Sunseeker San Remo 35, 1994 model, has 2 Volvo penta KAD 42 diesel engines.
Both engines start and run well however, once on the plane for 15-20 minutes, at crusing speed of about 25 Knots, Port engine emits black smoke, also there is a decrease in revs on port engine, from normal cruising 3,400 down to 2,000.
Does not respond to Increase throttle.
Starboard engine no problem retaining 3,200 rpm at cruising 24 to 25 Knots
I have serviced the fuel injectors, however the problem persists.
Kindly advise
