    won't reach max rpm - slow to get up on plane

    Gi-B is an MPI and uses the flat Dizzy cap Lets just go with the TBI Everything works but not enough power Was timing set using base timing mode? Is timing advancing as rpm increases? Are there any codes? Should have a MEFI 3 ECM so can check for codes with a resistor LED or digital voltmeter...

    Charging trolling motor batteries

    Either need a 2 bank 12V charger or single bank 24V charger If you got a 3 bank you could do all Bats at same time

    2008 Chaparral 275 SSI 8.1 Volvo Penta GXI-J Soft Alarm Issues

    If there actually is a knock being sensed then that is an issue. Look for the sensor on the side of the block, will have a singal wire and larger plastic type connector Follow the wire and make sure it is not in a bundle with the spark plug wires. The plug wires if they are side by side will...

    Throttle cable adjustment dimension 5.7 EFI

    Remove IAC, reconnect connector, turn key ON and see if the tip moves. Inspect tip and port for crud. If it needs cleaning, don't use anything caustic like carb cleaner, soap and water is best Remove IAC muffler (foam filter) and see if it needs cleaning After that, that's about it, they...

    Remote oil filter line routing/orientation

    Oil flow needs to flow from the outside of the filter to the inside. Look at the block fitting, out outside fitting goes to the outside on the remote (arrow in). Arrow out on filter head goes to inside (center) fitting on block

    Charging trolling motor batteries

    Don't need to change anything other then how the Bats are wired. Breaker measures (so to speak) current and doesn't matter if it's 12, 24 36 etc. It will trip if current exceeds 50 amps which will disconnect all power

    Throttle cable adjustment dimension 5.7 EFI

    Agree, was right during change over. Serial number shows both roller and flat Most likely your issue is with the IAC but might be a slight vacuum leak There isn't a dimension for throttle cable, it's done by feel. As Bondo mentioned, adjust cable so it just fits in place, then remove and...

    Fuel line adapters?

    Haven't seen a mass marketed on and just guessing the adapter was home made. There would be so many different ones to cover most OB's

    Time to upgrade. Looking at 5.0 MPI w Bravo 3

    Bravo's don't work that way, if FWD is out so is REV. Damaged boats are always cheaper, but without a test run on the water there is so many things that can be missed/hidden. The drive will need to be replaced and don't buy it if you don't see it run.

    Throttle cable adjustment dimension 5.7 EFI

    Would need to know more about the motor, happen to know the original serial number? Being a EFI it should be a vortec motor with roller cam so the cam shaft would not need to be broke in like on a flat tappet cam.

    Trim Sender/Limit Mercruiser
