"I have owned a 1988 Boat with a Mercruiser 350, 260hp for the last 18 years. The boat has been garage kept and is in great shape. It seems to run well except for it wanting to die when shifted from gear to neutral. The engine also at times will run on once the key is turned off.
I would like to time the boat. I have been told that the Thunderbolt IV might need to be disabled in order to time it properly. One mechanic suggested it should have a purple wire with a white stripe coming off the ignition system. I do not believe this one has that wire to ground.
How can I find out the proper procedure for timing this boat? Any other ideas on what might be causing the problem?
Thanks"
