Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

Try measuring the distance of the slotted bracket. The cp performance one is 5" if I remember right.

The Southern California Speedboat Club is looking for some volunteers for River Closure and or patrol/tow boats at the 75th Annual Thanksgiving Regatta/2021 Season Championships on Friday & Saturday, November 26 & 27.
 
Duties are very light and best seat in the house! Also, if you can't do both days but would like to volunteer for one of the days we would appreciate the help!! All river closure/patrol/tow boats receive a souvenir event t-shirt.

To me, the flat iron with the slot is the problem.
It has no structural integrity, especially for steering.
Steering cables like to be in the same plane as the steering arm mounting point.
If you disconnect the slotted piece, is the steering cable and wheel centered? (Mines a JC W/ Diverter, and doesn't have any extension for the diverter, and steering wheel is centered and straight)
I've never seen that type of hardware on an E pump, looks super sketchy. Loss of steering is no joke. An adjustment slot shouldn't be anywhere near the steering cable. Double nut everything. Even Nylox nuts.

Just my $0.02

That setup is not what you want for a bow stop.

The winch and bow eye need to be below the roller.
With the existing setup, the boat can go up and over the rollers, and the winch strap will let it happen.

The winch and strap need to be able to hold the boat down to the trailer. This one doesn't do that.



Hope this helps

Dan'l, how did you find out how much total timing it wanted...increase by two degrees and wait for peak RPM to stop increasing, then back it off slightly? Or is there another trick?

It took 2 people.
I had a buddy of mine drive the boat.
I have jump seats next to the motor.
I sat in left side jump seat, had buddy bring it to 3000 rpm. I could see the tach, too.
Told him to keep the same throttle position.
I advanced the dizzy about 300 rpm, before it started going back down.
( No more throttle was used)
Retarded the dizzy a bit, and later checked initial with a timing light.
Left it at 12-13° initial.
Bam. Done.

Dan'l

Edit: going up river and 115° outside.

I have mine idle at 950 ± for slight additional thrust around the docks and trailering. But she's a big girl, so slop counts for skill.

More important is total timing lead, mines at 12° initial, ~33/34° total, using the lightest springs. This was after a lake test to see how much timing lead my combo wanted.

Hope this helps.

Best bet- pull the block plugs above the pan rail, as well as all of the manifold hoses.

Or, using the connection between the jet and engine, (and possibly a short section of hose) fill the entire engine, logs and snails with rv antifreeze, until it comes out the exhaust on the transom, roughly 2 gallons. (Pink stiff is far more lake friendly than green car antifreeze)
Spring time, launch fire it up and go.

#1- Is it a stainless steel impeller? Stainless steel impellers are known for clunking at idle. What's your idle at? You can bump up the idle to 1000 rpm or so and it usually goes away. Any slop in the u-joints would be evident at idle too.

#2- I'd try to isolate it... Look or listen while underway at the pump seal, rear main seal and balancer seal. Easier said than done.

#3- just a wild ass guess- valvetrain.
Inspect closely the push rods, rockers and valve springs.

Something like this?

Mr. Flusher walked me through it.
If I remember right, it was machined at 2° (smaller and the tail end)
The shoe is relieved at the rear for the ride plate. The ride plate angle is determined by the rear adjustment, underneath the bowl at the steering adapter. (Cradle to ride plate)

I'll look through my notes to double check the degree of machining.
