If you "were" reaching max WOT RPM with 17 pitch then yes, you will be slower coming out of the hole, and may start lugging the motor. If you were over reving then should be fine
Yes you need to drop pitch. A motor looses HP at higher elevations. Might work with 24s but most likely 22s, but I just guessing based on 200 rpm per inch of pitch
Thanks Muc, as before your the go to guy. Never saw those kind of cost
Was thinking about OB myself because I'm getting really tired of hanging upside down to change a bravo raw water pump impeller. Then just paying more then $1000 for a outdrive jack because I'm getting to old to man handel it...
All evens should not be tied together, only way this can happen is if someone moved the connectors. The below pic is from a 555 ECM but does illustrate batch firing better due to the colors.
Injectors are seated with rubber type seals which keep it from grounding out against the intake...
Might change the rear bunks from 2x6 to 6x6 and cut it to the same angle as the hull and low as possible. Move them in slightly inward so it will self center.
My trailer came with outer 2x4 (flat side on the 4) bunks and it was so close to the strake that some times it would cause it to...
Could very well be the wire connection
Don't have a good wiring diagram, but finding pins
27 Knock 1+
28 Knock 1-
29 Knock 2+
30 Knock 2-
But does not mention J1 or 2 but Merc should be J1
Having only one then should be 27 and 28
Should be a Bark Blue wire
Use the noid of meter, turn key ON, motor not running and the light should be OFF. Or with a meter measure both pins to ground. Both side will measure 12V. If one measured 0V then there is a ground being applied
Having a water connection like that you should have a Bravo drive.
Does your water connection use a valve that is closed before running?
If it does then I would go back to the Stat housing. Check the balls going to the elbows.
Don't know if impeller is bad, but it was running to temp on a hose and the Stat was installed incorrectly. Normally even if the impeller is bad or week a hose will push enough water thru to keep the motor within limits, by pushing the water thru. You also have the spring and check balls which...
