High speed timing

[shuff]

Any suggestions about how to set the WOT timing on a 2001 150 Johnson without risking your life riding on the back of the boat holding a timing light?

Years ago, we had test props which would allow you to rev up the engines in tanks or at the dock.<br />A dealer could tell you if one is available for your engine.

We always do it at the ramp with the boat on the trailer.<br /><br />Good luck!

You don't even have to run the motor to set timing on that model. A special electronic tester is used. It takes only a few moments and you could have a QUALIFIED tech do it for the 1/2hr minimum charge. It is a lot quicker and a lot safer than hanging out the back of the boat with a timing lite.
