    poor performance

    I have a 2003 3.0l Mercruiser Alpha One on a Silverline 1705, which is giving me nothing but grief. Over on the prop forum I describe my issues with not being able to get it above 3800 rpm with a 19" four blade aluminium prop. I took it in last weekend for a tune up and the performance is now...
