Hey guys had the boat out yesterday for a test ride ,I have to say it wasnt too bad. started up fine reversed fine forward fine but tried to get on plane and the boat wasnt having it. Basically I rebuilt the motor and everything is perfect in the driveway. The issue starts when in forward move the throttle up to 2500 rpms and the motor goes to 2500 rpms but the boat is just not moving like its at 2500 rpm at all more like a slug. I adjusted the rotor on the distribotor on the just to get her going but didnt use the timing gun to dial it in. Is this a typical symptom to not have the timing dialed in? She purrs in the driveway,but obviously we aint going boating in the driveway. Thanks for any advice. I do have the timing procedure and am going to do it this week I just was hoping to get some assurance that this is typicl of incorrect timing .
