LT8362 output voltage dropping under load

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT8362

I'm trying to build a step up converter to for from 6.5-8.3V DC all the way up to 48V with a maximum load of 15W.

I've gone with SEPIC configuration of an LT8362.  I've gone with SEPIC over boost only to allow the output to be switched off completely.
My schematics attached below.

The problem I have is this, at no load Vout is a nice 48V, however as the load on the output goes above 2W, Vout drops back down to about 20V.  Is someone able to give me some tips on what I can do to try an diagnose and resolve this problem?.
