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
