"I have a 20 ft Celebrity with a MerCruiser 5.0L engine. The boat planes HORRIBLY! The engine dosn't seem to "kick down" or "down shift" (ignition advance??) appropriately to generate the power necessary to get the boat up on plane. Once it finally does get up on plane, all performs as expected.
The 5.0L is outfitted with a Quadrajet and Thunderbolt ignition. Prop is pitched correctly as well (18).
I do see there are 2 vacuum nipples at the base of the carb. One of which has nothing attached.
Any thoughts?"
