The last two times I had my 2011 Z6 on the water she would stumble and lose power at 3/4 throttle... badly. I couldn't figure it out because I had VERY few hours on the boat/motor. Then I thought .... maybe that's the problem: maybe I should treat the boat/motor like it's been stored for awhile. I got some Mercury Marine 12oz Quickstor Fuel Stabilizer Treatment 92-8M0047932 and dumped in 2 ozs. The next time I went to the lake, about two weeks later, she ran like a gravy train on biscuit wheels. Hell, now I add a little bit of that stabilizer every time I leave the dock and she purrs real nice. ..... maybe that tip will help you out too .... just saying.
 
Water and moisture are your worst enemy: water in fuel, corrosion on electrical connections, mildew inside boat cover and interior of boat and rot. I use Sea Foam in all my fuel cans.
