Yamaha EFI Quattro 60hp problems

Hi

My Yam 60 has suddenly lost a third of it's power, speed is down for the same revs as before, and it won't rev above 4300.

I've changed the inline fuel / water separator filter, checked the fuel filter on the engine, tanks and fuel line all seem good.

Any ideas on what I should check / do next?

Try looking at the fuel injectors, I have just recently had to replace one of mine on my Yammy F115AETL 4-stroke as it had become blocked. I noticed that my WOT revs went down and the boat was noticably slower but didn't realise what it was until it was found by the engineer during it's latest service.

I'm yet to get favourable conditions coinciding with time out on the water in order to re-check my WOT and speed again, but the boat feels a lot better since changing it.

I hope it's as simple as that!
