I just purchased a Bayliner Capri with a OMC 3.0L and a Cobra Leg. My boat shifts perfectly, running in the driveway but on its first water test at the lake it required me to shift past neutral to get the boat out of gear. (Forward and reverse) Does it make any difference that I shifted it into reverse while the leg was not all the way down (getting it off the trailer- It was a bit stuck, must have been on there a while) Once I got home it seem to shift fine again in the driveway. I did not try trimming it all the way up and back down at the lake.
My other question is that there seams to be a bit of excess noise from the top of the head under load (during take off) Can the lifters/rockers be adjusted on this motor ?
Otherwise the motor has 155LBS compression on all 4 cylinders does not burn any oil. (Raw water cooled if that matters)
Also what would be the symptoms if there is any water in the fuel or the fuel is really old (It does not smell old). I am going to pump it all out to be on the safe side anyway. The previous owner said it was new but he proved to be dishonest about a few other issues on this boat.
I know the are lots of questions, but any info would be greatly appreciated.
