    Throttle adjustment

    Don't know much about these motors, but does appear to have digital throttle control, is this correct? Is this a brand new motor or new to you? How low is the idle?

    Idle speed, Mercruiser 2.8 165hp D-tronic

    The P0180 gives me some good thoughts. If ECM thinks the fuel is that hot, then it may change the idle. Don't know because manual 22 does not list any trouble codes Guessing again: The low idle set point would guess this is the lowest it will allow the motor to go if there is a problem. The...

    Mercuiser vs VP 380

    Have never seen a SB (even stroked) put out more "low end" torque then a BB. Pretty sure your going to like the 8.2 in the 28 footer (5500 lbs). That said, hope there is no problems with the CATs

    Boat gauges inboard vs. outboard

    One which may be an issue is the tachometer, and that's only if the gauge doesn't have a setting for the number of cylinders. Only other issue I can think of which may be an issue is the sensor size (if there is enough room to install)
