Re: Boat will not plane
Disconnect the throttle linkage. Actuate the throttle quickly to wide open and let off just as quick, while intensely watching the vacuum gage. Does it go to zero vacuum? Did it get there smoothly? On the way back to idle, what exactly did the needle do?
What brand engines-Mercruiser, crusader, something else?
Did they time the engines? Are you comfortable with turning the distributor?
What ignition system do you have? Points? Do you have a dwell meter
and know how to use it, and adjust the points?
Vacuum gage can tell us all about the intake and exhaust cycles. W need to adjust the dwell if a points system, and then check timing.
