    Top Speed Issues

    I use 10 or so per hour skiing on my 20 ft with a 5.0 so if you are using 10-15 with a 7.4 Id think you are doing pretty well. Yes I would go through the igintion components and set timing. Are you at higher altitude? you will loose power ude to thinner air.

    U-Joints for 2003 Alpha One Gen 2

    Just to keep fanning the flames.... I just bought a pair of Moog 344s for my upcoming bellows job. Obviously the OD is the same, the marine joint cross diameter of .701" is .655" on the moog. I cant see this making any difference in longevity. I guess I must be bored so I also ordered Spicer...

    Mercarb 2 barrel TKS jet sizes?

    Yes the enrichment valve basically replaces a choke system, to provide for richer fuel mixture when starting.

    Mercarb 2 barrel TKS jet sizes?

    20 foot 1997 Maxum 2050 bowrider propeller question

    What is your current prop manufactuer and style? I would suggest you look at a merc revolution 4 , provides nice stern lift and lower plaining speed for me. they also make an enertia eco aimed at offshore cruise fuel economy either of these are fairly big props so would think based on your...

    starter lockout with rams full out

    If your gears are gone I suspect the input shaft seal is leaking and you have no lube on the upper gears You will hear a knocking from the ujoints if the drive is all the way up and the engine started. Is it great to run it that far up no just keep the rpms low. I see a lot of posts about...

    Mercarb 2BBL accelerator pump check ball

    yes some use the check ball in the well bottom some dont. Its not uncommon in carb kits to get parts and gaskets that fit several versions of the same carb family. unfortunately you have to pay attention in great detail to what comes out and hopefully your carb hasnt been messed with in the past…
