Hello everyone, hoping for some helpful info. I have a 2002 225 weekender w 5.0 mercruiser 5.0 efi I recently had water in the oil from a manifold gasket. Tore motor apart down to the heads. Cleaned replaced all gaskets, lifters manifolds, risers, plugs wires cap rotor and every other lil thing needed. Since then the boat was really slow getting to plane, as in like up to a minute or so. Once planed seemed to be running fine. I just adjusted the timing and it got better. My question is, the motor is running great at idle and wot no missing or sputtering but top speed is only 35mph and just doesn’t seem like it has the jump it should. Is this top speed normal and any ideas on why I’m not getting the jump out the hole I think it should? And yes I have it trimmed all the way down and it’s the same thing w low weight only 2 people on the boat.
