On the way home yesterday when the engine suddenly reduced its revs without me touching the throttle. It then accelerated back up ad the revs climbed back to whee they were. A few minutes later the same thing happened, but this time the revs did not come back up so I pt it back in neutral and pushed the throttle again and everything went back to usual. Another few minutes later the engine dropped revs again, so i tried giving more throttle but the revs would not rise. The engine seemed to be stuck at a certain speed. We limped home with the engine dropping revs and then accelerating again, like it had a mind of its own.

 

To clarify, it is an evinrude e-tec 115 from 2009

The throttle has always been very stiff

My guess is air in fuel line. Maybe getting in on a connector? Water separator etc.

 

Or dirt blocking the pickup. I had a bent pickup tube once inside the tank, it was restricting the fuel pickup when in a slop or full revs. Really hard to finds, esp as tank was full and it was seeming like air entering the fuel lines.
