Mixing elbow, muffler (from small SS to larger resin) and exhaust hose
were all replaced a few years back. I'd be surprised if the problem was
there.

Mixing elbow can cause problems like you experienced.

Bottom and prop is clean....boat is launched every Spring after Winter
layup.
Checked the throttle cable and that seems to be fine....most likely a
fuel issue....

Went to take the boat out Friday for a short sail
.....motoring out heading into a12 knt breeze....started to
increase the RPM's and found the engine wouldn't rev about
2,100 RPM's ....marine diesel's are not supposed to be that
complicated but they are to me. I wouldn't know where to
start to trouble shoot....getting a mechanic to deal with it
this week. I spoke to him and told him the situation and he
thinks it is a fuel problem....engine not getting enough
fuel....my fuel tank and fuel should be clean as I had the
bottom of it replaced 2 years ago and the 2 fuel filters
replaced. He thinks one or both of the filters are restricting
the fuel flow.....I hope he is right but I don't think so.
Possibly many are causes....restricted fuel injectors, fuel
pump, etc. ....the engine has never been serviced in the 16
years I have had the boat
Any insight or guidance to help greatly appreciated.
