    Oof, memories of sea ray nav/anchor light switch. You know the ones with a transom light and forward facing mast light? A diode is necessary at the switch to not back feed current to entire circuit when only the anchor lite(s) is illuminated

    4.3 runs great for about 30 minutes then bogs, pops won't accelerate

    Someone from my past who's forgotten more about outboard motors that i could ever learn once told me "there's no nevers or always with boats" Sometimes it's the coil, rare yes. But sometimes It doesn't hurt anything to install a new, proper coil.

    Tensioner assembly is mounted to the engine block. There is no adjustment save for releasing the tension to remove the belt using a 3/8" drive ratchet and appropriate socket, like 15mm?

    My boat run slowly. 120HP,2.5L,1989

    There's little difference between the combustion chamber cleaner you mentioned, power tune and water Steam clean the engine Another trick an ol boy told me once is to add a quart of atf to the crankcase a few hours prior to an oil/filter change. Frees up sticky lifters? Might just be a ford thing
