    Moving outdrive with engine off?

    I could move my old 1966 Alpha but have not been able to move any of my bravos. To do so this means fluid must be sucked out and thru the pump on the high side without out the pump turning.

    Your good for now, as airshot mentioned, next step is in the water and in gear. With motor in gear the idle should be 600 to 650

    No, fuel level is to high. The float is not shutting the fuel off soon enough, the tang might need to be bend ever so slightly more. The drop is not that important but needs to be correct. The drop is just the max the float will drop

    Baltimore bridge hit by ship, collapsed

    We all be guessing Looks like most use twin 8 cylinder 2-stroke diesels and must stop the engine, shift the cam and restart. There are some container ships that use just one 14 cylinder 2-stroke, so the smoke could very well be motor going full reverse but we will find out in time...
