I was hoping for a couple of focused areas to look at before scratching my head.

Have a 3cylinder 90HP mariner. #OD163656

I has good compress and idles just fine.

I put it on a boat and took to the boat ramp to test it under a load. Basically keep the boat strapped down and throttle up while in gear to check timing advance and so forth.

When I did the thottle up under load (prop spinning) I started to Knock and I shut it down immediately.

I am about to pull the powerhead. I was wondering if any of you guys had an educated guess where to focus to find the knock.

Thanks and God Bless.
