After replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets, etc. The boat can finally reach higher speeds consistently. I say higher speed because the lake was a bit choppy for WOT. All three cylinders seem to be firing properly now. Now a new problem has emerged. The boat will run smoothly for a minute or...
Hi everyone. The power head is reassembled and back on the boat. I tested it with the hose in the driveway, and after solving the unintentional drop test on the bottom cylinder (forgot to hook it back up), complete with lots of backfiring, it smoothed right out (drop test proved successful) and...
