    I just had a ton of work done on my boat, and i didn't do it myself because for one i thought the dealer had an obligation to fix it, and fix it right. For instance, i was looking to see if it was possible to do my own starter, that i just had done. There is only 2 inches on each side of the...

    Loud whistling (air sucking?)

    Been trying to figure out what this noise is for a while. It is a 2000 350 Mag, MPI, EFI. Noise gets louder and more high pitched as the rpms go up. Coming from the motor, i'm guessing the throttle body. Is this normal.
