Hi all, two questions seeking answers ...
1 ... I have a 48 ft houseboat with 2 mercs out back, both wearing 40 hp covers, however one info plate says 40 ELPTO (S/N OT 694415) 40 hp and the other 50 ELPTO (S/N OT 694454) 50 hp ... I cannot find any reference to either, but need to confirm if I have 2 x 40 hp motors or 1 x 40 hp and 1 x 50 hp ... can anyone advise where I should look ?
ps both motors look identical under the covers.
I need to order waterpump impellers and they are sure to be different if ...
2 ... on both motors the throttle cables are 48 ft long (!) and I have adjusted for throttle response from the Quicksilver duo control, but in doing so the idle speed rises a lot ... how can I reduce idle speed without reducing cabled throttle response ???
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated ...
thanks
