I am going to check the timing on my 1997 mercury force 40hp pontoon boat. Can anyone tell me what the degrees btdc is? If needed, the serial # falls between OE203000-OE287999 as I don`t have the exact number with me right now.
Thank You
Joe

Maximum timing 30 deg BTDC at 5500RPM
Throttle primary pickup 2 deg BTDC to 2 deg ATDC
Throttle secondary pickup 30 deg BTDC
