Is now a good time to say the comment about checking the wiper motor switch was some funny chit? If bad timing, don't read this posting.

Re: Mercruiser Engine Problem
I'm having a similar problem with a carbed engine. It dies under load. It revs up fine and doen't miss a beat in neutral, but try to get on a plane, and it dies. I've about convinced myself it's the carb, so I plan on swapping them to see if the problem follows the carb. I just got to thinking the other day, that was the engine I had out for tranny work early this year. I wonder if a fuel line got kinked or bent when pulling the engine. I haven't looked yet.

I worked on a SeaRay once with twin 4.3L that did the same thing. Finally found that the lagging engine had no spark advance. Joe, have you ever seen this?

Re: Mercruiser Engine Problem
honestly not in a long time since the days of mech advance unless some one left a timming shunt in place (grounds the dist advance to set base timming )
or a bad comp...assuming thunder bolt ign
