Im afraid this may be serious, I hope not but please advise if you have a clue. Im running about 40 mph all of a sudden motor revs down to almost a bog out so I idle it down to rev her her up and off we go again for about 100 yds then she does it again....I idle all the way in. I get home and run her on the ears and no problem she is revving up and sounds great. What do you think she is doing?

I found a gas leak on the hose at the elbo circled. Not sure if that would cause the bog down at WOT but must be repaired none the less. The gas filter is white and looks hollow( is this normal?) This pic is off the internet not mine but looks almost exactly like it. Should I replace my filter with one like in pic?

If you don't have one already, I recommend an external Racor-type 10 micron filter to catch any water before it gets to the engine.
I'm guessing that fuel leak was the problem...but if it only does it under a load, then there is something else going on."GET OFF MY REEF!"

Good call....but maybe not, if the leak isn't bad and enough fuel is getting there to satisfy the lower rpm requirement. Fix the leak and check it out. My injected engine did the same thing and the injectors were clogging...The Racor took care of that!Don't be a Nancy!
If it smells like fish....you know I've been there!
