    Mercruiser Thunderbolt ignition Question

    With it only doing when cold I would let it go and not bother with it. The good thing about the 2 Rev's is it has times to build a bit of oil pressure before starting

    Mercruiser Thunderbolt ignition Question

    Not sure about a 2010 TBV but the old ones didn't have a delay. When I start my MPI and its cold, the ECM has it crank over about 2 full revolutions befoe it will start. When warm it doesn't even turn over 1/2 a Rev before firing up Could be, its built into the system. I don't know, just an idea

    Mercruiser Thunderbolt ignition Question

    Look at the module inside the distributor and see if it has 2 wires or 3. If it has 2 wires, it might be worth getting the replacement 3 wire version. The 2 wire type has a grounding issue

    Have 14x19 4 blade on 4.3 GXi. Upgrade to Stainless Steel worthwhile?

    Pulling skiers you need to get the RPM up fast. A 4 blade prop bits more so there is less slip, getting more slip out of the hole will help. Try a 3 blade 21 (same as 4 blade 19) because it will slip more on the hole. If you want to flat pull someone up, try a 3 blade 19 and go easy pulling...

    Slow plane at high altitude 5.0L MPI, please help

    Really don't want to get into the 3, 4 5 blade argument that always happens. My point is a 4B 18 is equivalent to a 3B 20. Going to a 3B 17 drops it down to just the 17. To do the same thing with a 4B you would need a 4B 15
