30 is correct. The way it has to be done is at WOT.What I have done is unhook the gas turn the key on and ground out the plug wires with a sparkie.Remove the plugs and push the throttle all the way forward.Then put timing light on #1 (top) then jump the starter relay and point the timing light at the mark on the front of the motor.It will get you close enough,untill you can put the boat in the water and run it at WOT.Jerry
