    60 efi Bigfoot won’t idle.

    I have a 2007 Mercury Bigfoot 60 EfI that has developed a problem. It will start and idle for about 5 seconds and then it shuts down.

    Which is more efficient?

    When it comes to boating I enjoy just putting along at 6-8 knots as I have done in our sailboat for years. We have recently purchased a 2004 Chaparrall 290 Signature with twin Volvo Penta 4.3 for a change in pace. I was wondering if its more efficent to run these engines at 6-8 knots rather than...

I will not know for sure until i put a dial indicator on them but its a good possibility since it was run aground which I knew when I bought the boat. If they are indeed bent, can duo prop shafts...
