[C320-list] Engine stall only under load

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

Are you sure that there isn't anything wrapped around the prop/shaft?

JERRY is Right Donald 
Exhaust Mixing Elbow will be it if it hasn't been replaced in 4 - 5 years.
Mine clogged up with corrosion which causes back pressure into motor causing it 
to run poorly...
Motor revved perfectly when NOT under load...as soon as under load it ran low 
revs and pumped out some dark smoke..
It is caused by the sea water coming in to cool the exhaust which builds up 
corrosion over time in the elbow reducing the volume going through the PONG box 
and out..

When was the last time the exhaust mixing elbow was replaced?

Engine stall only under load </div><div> </div>Perkins M30. I can idle for hours 
regardless of RPM (1000, 1500, 2000,
2500) but she stalls when I am underway. I have changed both primary and 
secondary fuel filters and the fuel lift pump. still stalls. Anyone have a 
suggestion of what I can try next. I'm thinking there may be a fuel tank problem 
( vent or pick up line ) That's my next stop. If that's it I'll post the result. 
Appreciate any guidance or even just ideas.
