I know, this is a BOW hunting forum but I'm not one who frequents many other forums. I did join and post this on the Verado Club forums but haven't got many replies.
I bought an 06 Ranger Z22 with an 06 275 Verado on it last year. It ran fine for the first few trips out then I started having some issues. Running wide open the motor would shut down to idle speed and a low voltage alarm would sound off. It would do this periodically and not always do it each time I took it out. I installed a second battery a few months ago thinking this might be the solution. However, the next trip out the boat ran horrible. When trying to get on plane the motor would sputter as if it was running out of gas. I figured the gas in the tank was bad which wasn't much gas to begin with. After this trip I changed the inline fuel filter and the fuel/water separator filter along with the engine oil, added fresh gas with stabil. The next trip out it ran much better. I ran to my first fishing spot, was there about 15 minutes, ran to the next fishing spot and was there about the same length of time. As I was leaving the second spot the boat got on plane but as I trimmed the motor up it shut down to idle speed and the low voltage alarm sounded off. It done this one more time on this trip. Getting on plane wasn't an issue but it seems like when I hit a certain point on the trim I got the low voltage alarm. On top of this the power steering pump is going out!
Any idea what could be happening with the motor?
