2003 Sea Ray 182
Engine serial # 0M369570
This boat is newer to me and recently noticed the idle was a tad high at around 850rpm. I turned it down on the idle speed screw on the carb to 650rpm per the factory tach.
Boat runs great and with the idle speed now around 650rpm. After coming off a run for a few minutes or more the idle is around 900-1000rpm in neutral. Didn't know if this is normal and how the carb engines are or if it should return back to 650rpm after coming off plane and taken out gear.
When I come off plane and its idling high if I turn it off and then turn it back on it's lower around 650-700rpm.
The idle screw is resting on the choke cam when placed into neutral with pressure for forcing it closed.
