    Theoretical power upgrades on a 5.7 gi

    Good thought! I haven’t. The other thing I thought is if the tp sensor registers wot voltage at 7/8 throttle and the tb is close enough to wide open to make no difference. I will check the blade opening sometime though.

    Theoretical power upgrades on a 5.7 gi

    So I don’t really have plans to do anything but I was curious. My boat has a 5.7gi-c. It’s in a heavier boat, when running wot the last 1/8 throttle makes no difference. This is evident when I pull back on the throttle with no change. Now I’m propped correctly and the engine is in good shape. I...

    Does this pump housing look worn?

    I have a 5.7GI-C and am chasing an overheat at idle issue. The pump housing is mostly smooth, the flat part is worn enough to catch my fingernail, also there is a low spot between the intake and exhaust grates. I dont know if that is enough to cause issues.

    Silly question about trim.

    I have a simple question. On a alpha 1 gen 1 is full trim up considered trailer or just trimmed up. In other words, does it hurt it to run full trim up? There is no gauge btw. If I need to provide more info just ask.
