[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 422195, member: 3278"] [size=5][size=150]I use a boat ramp to check timing. Leave the engine in the trim range, not in the tilt range as it will slam down. I back the boat down far enough so that the water line is below the ventilation plate (larger engines) and the prop tips will clear the water. By allowing the prop tips to clear the engine will usually get fairly close to normal running RPM. Yes a wall of water will be thrown up so be aware of who is where and use common sense. Short cut for this is to set static timing about 2 degrees shy of your WOT timing before you start this ramp process. Normally you will be right on or a degree or so away. [/size][/size] [/QUOTE]
