    Volvo Penta 3.0 | Belt is not centered on pulley | Thoughts?

    Needs to be more centered IMO Is the bolt long enough to place a washer behind it, or maybe on the bracket?

    2002 Mercruiser 5 liter MPI Distributor Timing

    Thanks, issue with that is if the damper notch can be a few degrees off. To make sure its a true TDC would need a stop bolt or a micrometer probing the top of the piston. Your motor is running and with that as @Fun Times mentioned in the other thread, loosen the Dizzy and ever so slightly...

    2002 Mercruiser 5 liter MPI Distributor Timing

    No that's not close enough IF it was at TDC. If you are at TDC then lift the Dizzy out enough to disengage gear and rotate Should have also also posted this one to your previous thread https://forums.iboats.com/threads/02-mercruiser-5-liter-mpi-rough-running.756751/#post-5769891

    Shift cutout switch not working even after replacement

    You said old 3.0 which could mean may things. Could be points Dizzy or TB Dizzy. Points uses a ground to make the motor stumble and TB uses 12V. Do you know if the other end of the shift interruptor actually connects to a ground or 12V?

    Bravo 3 Prop Help

    If it was running good before the change in elevation, then not so much. That said its a new to you boat so checking pressure is a good thing. If your motor has the flat dizzy cap, then changing or having a spare on the boat is a good thing. Those caps have been know to cause problems and...

    Prop Pitch

    If you "were" reaching max WOT RPM with 17 pitch then yes, you will be slower coming out of the hole, and may start lugging the motor. If you were over reving then should be fine

    Bravo 3 Prop Help

    Yes you need to drop pitch. A motor looses HP at higher elevations. Might work with 24s but most likely 22s, but I just guessing based on 200 rpm per inch of pitch
