Winterized the boat today. Did a compression check after it was up to operating temp.160 on the nose on all four cylinders. Decided to take a vid to get thoughts on how it sounds.

How long have you had the boat? Has it always sounded this way? Sounds like there is a little rattle/noise of some sort. Timing chain? Waterpump (circulating pump)? Too hard to tell without being there. Use a screwdriver against your ear to pinpoint the noise... if there is a problem :)

Do you have the firing order right on the plug wires?

Had the boat since January. Put 35 hours on it this summer. Runs great (to me) . I did have 4 fishing poles under the bimini storage area that definitely do rattle.(?) Firing order, yes, in right order, What are you hearing don ?

Hard to say, sounds rough and noisy, but I'm listening on cheap built in laptop speakers.

I believe you can see the plug order in the video. I can say that once It's warmed up it doesn't move, smooth as can be, not a shimmy shake or vibration, sits absolutely still. Obviously that doesn't tell the whole story, noise/sound is more important, that's why I posted the video.

Uhhhhhh, if it's running ok warm, and in the video it's cold and running rough, and I sure can't tell by the video if the wiring is right, what exactly is the problem?

Well first off, its warm in the video, I never said otherwise. Secondly, nothing that I know of is wrong, just getting opinion on how it sounds. Third, I can see each plug wire in the video, that's why I mentioned looking at the video for the firing order
