Hello all. I have a 1986 27' Bayliner Ciera.<br />Engine is a 260A Volvo with what I think is a Volvo 280 out drive. <br />I purchased the boat last season with a bad engine. It ran but was shot. So I have nothing to compare the performance to. Any way with the bad engine the boat would produce 3100 or so rpms at wot. I replaced the engine, new carb, manifolds, risers, new distributor, wires, basically everything. I'm still getting the same results, 3100 or so rpms at wot.<br /><br />With the help of this forum, (Don S especially) I have eliminated the following.<br />Fuel, it isnt old.<br />Tune up, its all brand new.<br />Restrictions of fuel, no problems there.<br />Vacume leaks, not there. <br />Linkage is fine, every thing he said to check I checked and its all good.<br /><br />I looked at the prop today and it looks ok, there is a string wrapped around it (I need to get it off I know) but it isnt bent, with the exception of one small spot.<br />The prop size according to the paper work given to me when I purchased the boat says its a <br />15*19 left standard Michigan Match 082021.<br /><br />The receipt says it was purchased in 2002.<br />Since the boat is in the water I cant see the actual numbers on the prop. If this is the actual prop on the boat would it be the correct one?<br />According to mechanics the boat should run about 4500 rpms at wot. There is no vibration or noise when running.<br />Timing is dead on and she runs great.<br />Im lost.
