    Help I can move my distributor and affect the tuning

    So as long as it's running well I don't have to worry about the subtle position of the distributor? Or should I get the timing light out and get it set to #1 TDC (I would just turn it until the strobe has the lines aligned pulley to block?). Just to get the terminology correct, that would be...

    Help I can move my distributor and affect the tuning

    Hey BT this is the motor that you replaced the head on. I remember you were able to turn the distributor as well. It's always been moveable as long as I've owned the boat. She ran great today just want to make sure it's right. I have a timing strobe I'll have to figure out how to tune it. Then I...

    Help I can move my distributor and affect the tuning

    (Sea Ray 220 2003 with 5.0 MPI) So I can move my distributor around its axis about 5 degrees in either direction. I had a stalling problem (ended up being the IAC) but trying to start the boat again I was fiddling with the distributor. Now the boat works well. But not until I "retuned" the...

    Help Sea Ray 220 with Merc 5.0 MPI stalls at idle.

    I didn't replace the muffler because I didn't buy one. I'll order that on line and install it soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help Sea Ray 220 with Merc 5.0 MPI stalls at idle.

    So I fixed it. It was way easier than I expected. Literally did it one handed in 10 minutes. I shot a video to add to the collective knowledge of the world as that one video we found wasn't that informative. https://youtu.be/ROOlvjx38BU Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Help Sea Ray 220 with Merc 5.0 MPI stalls at idle.

    I will say that the boat this whole year has always needed a little extra middle button pushed throttle to start up, but then it would idle.

    Help Sea Ray 220 with Merc 5.0 MPI stalls at idle.

    SO my 2003 220 with the 305 ci (5.0L MPI) motor all of a sudden wont idle. SO I've been using it all summer no problem at all. Starts and runs fine. Then I'm in the water at the end of a tow rope skis on after a few miles back and forth yesterday tubing and skiing (nothing harsh at all). And I...

    Broke this Bimini strut on my 2004 220 bowrider

    Here is my "temporary" fix. I put a five eights inch steel threaded rod through the new joint and epoxied it inside and out. It's pretty solid but not pretty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Broke this Bimini strut on my 2004 220 bowrider

    I like the hose idea, I was going to run to Home Depot and go get some two part epoxy putty to try to get it back together. I was going to Dremel some grooves to make the putty stick better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Broke this Bimini strut on my 2004 220 bowrider

    So pulling out of my slip I caught the anchor of another boat and it snapped the rear vertical strut of my Bimini frame. Is this a part that is available to purchase somewhere? I also considered finding a welder to weld it back together. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Trim tab kit for Sea Ray 220

    I guess I expected more deflection of the tabs into the water. No doubt when they are down fully the bow doesn't rise up at all when getting on plane. My mechanic sent me photos he took on land. Maybe they are pretty parallel up and sticking my arm under the boat while swimming isn't a good...

    Trim tab kit for Sea Ray 220

    Ah, ok. I just have to think about the boat and not the tab I want to move. Fully deployed down how many degrees should the tab be below parallel to the bottom? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Trim tab kit for Sea Ray 220

    Soooo...... The boat is in the water and the trim tabs are on. I did not have an opportunity to check them out on land. They really seemed to keep the bow down when fully trimmed coming on plane. But using one vs. the other was confusing me. When we stopped for a swim I checked them out under...
