    Still not good, the water is not high enough, you take a chance or damaging the impeller. No expert with VP and I'm unable to find a 200 C If its 200 hp might be a 5.0 maybe Hey @Scott Danforth have any comments

    How much should extra weight slow me down?

    Don't remember which 4.3 you installed or boat for that matter, but not a much HP difference between the two motors. Torque should be a little better. When I was running heavy and/or pulling skiers, would reduce the prop pitch. Came out of the whole easier and would over rev at WOT, but I...

    Mercruiser Alpha One Series One, no Reverse

    We could figure it out, but just look at the lower cable how it moves when placed into forward. Your not going to hurt anything by going the wrong direction

    Belt Squeal

    Use a steel straight edge and place against the pulley to see which way the other pulleys need to go. As Bondo said we would have to be there and look at it to determine. The Power Steering pulley can be moved in/out with a PS puller/installer. The others would need to be shimmed or...
