Idle speed for 50 ho

"Thank you. I had to go to wor

"Thank you. I had to go to work so did not have time to mention that this is a boat. A 1989 forester, with a OMC Ford 5.0 ho. So when you say "in gear", when I put it in gear it is no longer at idle. So should I put it in gear with little throttle, or set idle at 550-600? Again thank you."
 
"Haha...I assumed it was a boa

"Haha...I assumed it was a boat John...when I do mine I just make sure the ropes to the dock are tight and put it in gear, the RPM's should actually drop a bit not go up, you shouldn't be advancing the throttle at that point (assuming you have a single control) then when you put it back in neutral they should go up by 50-100."
 
"Thank you for the clarifactio

"Thank you for the clarifaction Bob, very helpful. Someday I should tell you about the boat shop that had this boat for two weeks working on a starting problem, and still didmt fix it."
