So over the winter months, I like to take the boat out of storage once a month and throw it in the water on a relatively warm day to keep things lubricated and find problems early rather than later. Well today, the latter happened.

When I started up the port engine, I got a chime and check engine light. In the water, it would not go above 2000 RPM, but my starboard side had the full limit. At idle it sounded slightly rough as well.

Also, I think the bilge pump might be clogged, but that's less of a worry to me.

Attached are some pics that might help. I plan on taking it to the dealer next weekend, but I was just wondering if anyone here had any thoughts. Thanks!

How did you access that screen? I have a 2016 so maybe not part of mine.
 
Just hold down on the sys control (physical button) for like 5-10 seconds and it brings up these pages.
 
Code 134 is for a fault in the APS system. (The APS is the sensor that converts the throttle cable movement to an electrical signal to the ECM. They're on the sides of the engine compartment.)

Grab a nice bright flashlight and look closely at EVERYTHING around the engine compartment. That's always my first step in any diagnosis, I find most problems just by looking at everything very closely and with good lighting. Make sure the APS connector is fully seated. You don't have rats where you store your boat do you? They like to eat wire insulation.
