[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 439229, member: 13140"] Timing an outboard by the book is a cluster. I trim the motor all the way down to get some drag and to reduce RPM. Run it like this at WOT. Tweek the adjustment screw in 1/8 turn increments to get the most rpm or mph while under the slight extra load. To much adjustment will slow you down and too little will as well. Find your happy place in the middle. It works a treat and you can usually pick up some low end grunt and top end speed. Don't expect dramatic changes so be diligent, go slow and take notes. [/QUOTE]
