New to me 2005 Rinker Fiesta Vee 360 was stock from factory 496 Mags Bravo 3 with 2.0 Ratio drives.
So here is my issue just checked my drive ratio while servicing my drives port drive 2 turn to one on output (2:1) while the starboard is 2.2 turns to 1 (2.2:1) It has a metal tag that states 2:1Previous owner must have it repaired or changed.
WOT Port 4566rpm Starboard 4895rpm 39MPH
Cruise Port 4194 rpm Starboard 4217 rpm 34 MPH Port engine throttle advanced more apx 300 rpm
Did stall test both engines apx 2000rpm in gear starboard wot easily reached 4500rpm port barely made 3800rpm
I was starting to check port engine for lack of power but this explains the 400 rpm loss at WOT
