Hey guys... Hoping I can pick some brains here. I've got a 2008 280 with the 496 and just splashed it for the season. Fresh oil change and new plugs according to the marina. No issues on land, starts, idles fine. As soon as it was in the water there was no power and sounded like some popping occasionally from the engine. 50 Gallons of fresh fuel added to whatever I had in it last year. I putted to the dock under full throttle and that's where it's sitting. Is this a fuel issue? I ordered a new fuel filter. It's the gen 3 cool fuel module and waiting for it to arrive. As well there's a loud vacuum from somewhere and not sure how to go about troubleshooting it when I get on the throttles.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I'll check the wires and fuel and take it from there...

Ours did that a couple years ago. Ran fine until under load. Then it sounded like the world was ending.
