well we just got a 15.25 x 15pitch alum prop yesterday and that seemed to make a world of difference down low in the revs, although she would only spin about 2800 at like 13mph at full throttle which seemed really weak so we tried manually giving it throttle at the carb and got the boat to about 3500 rpm at 25mph... finally on plain and moving nicely. So I'm guessing we need to tighten up the throttle cables and do some more tuning. the carb is the old oem "Quadra junk carb" as tail chaser so i may replace it with a new Edelbrock marine carb like chaser said. does any one have a writeup on tuning or replacing these carbs?
