    Could IAC play a role. Last year they were back ordered so the marina put on an aftermarket

    Thanks fun times. Definitely a useful post. I have some different issues.. my engine runs fine up to 2000 then will not go any higher and starts backfiring. Oil pressure is slightly lower than the other engine at some times not consistently especially as the engine warms up.

    Boat reverse polarity

    So at the end of last season it was plugged into the marina main power on the dock. Right now it was plugged into the 110 at the marina with the 110 adapter for the shore tie. The 110 outlet works fine with shop vac and other 110 stuff. Could it be my main receptacle on the boat has corroded or...
