I just bought a 2006 Rinker 342 used boat and also finished the oil change, Fuel Filter change and Oil filter change service. I have two issues now.
1.  port engine,  I have to give a little bit gas when engine is cold and the RPM is 500 around in the first 10 mins.  I have to hold the throttle a little bit like more than 30 sec during the starting process otherwise the engine idle RPM will dropping to 0 then shut down.  It will stay at 600 around after the water temperature is raised to 170. When the RPM is 500, I can hear the Whistling sound from engine. but the RPM goes to 600 or 700 then the sound is gone.  

2. Starboard engine,  I have to give a little bit gas when the engine is hot, the cold engine no problem.  When engine is cold, The RPM started at 1000 then drop down to 700 after water temp reaching to 170.

Both engine will be synced after water temp at 170 for each. 

Anyone has any ideas on this? should I do something or just leave it as it.
