I have a 1986 Chaparral 187 with a 3.7 driving an alpha 1. I restored the boat and motor 3 years ago and it has performed well with nearly 200 hundred hours on the rebuilt. Recently however when I use the trim toggle to raise or lower the outdrive while underway it causes the motor to miss. This only happens after operating the boat for 10 or 15 minutes and once it starts it keeps getting worse to the point that the motor will miss whether the trim is being used or not. I have checked the wiring for obvious problems and swapped put the electronic ignition for the original with no difference in how the boat performs.
Any ideas on what might be going on?
