    Vortec 350 5.7 Mercruiser Build

    Max rpms is dependent on internals used, and how those are balanced. Your cam list 1000-5000 rpms and I haven't seen where the pistons, rods, crank is anymore then stock. I would set it to 10*BTDC and see how it does. That said, your build may be an expert or just a good builder. See what he...

    If the outlet is a 120VAC outlet then NO AC and DC circuits shall be kept seperated. Only thing that ties grounds anywhere near together is through a galvanic isolator. Run a separate ground cable to a buss bar

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GSP-C Engine Dying and Zero Oil Pressure

    This would say the drive is ventilating or something is on the prop. The motor runs bad and can still reach 4000, just doesn't add up, unless the tach was also messing up. If something was dropped in the tank it should have been stopped by the fuel filter

    4.3LX acceleration opinions

    Its weight distribution. With folks moving forward it can tip the bow down and cause the prop to come closer to the surface. Grab some air and ventilate a tad. It would take some testing to figure out exactly what is happening, but this is my thought

    4.3LX acceleration opinions

    OK sorry had to do it I don't see an issue right now because your overloaded. The boat weight distribution would have issue with what your seeing. Try to run it with normal load and see what it does
