hi guys, GOF here--lol
Just took out my boat with above motor for the first shakedown.
I was under the impression that 4 strokes idled very smooth???????
well at idle there is a vibration that rattles the whole boat,,,, it runs very
good,,,good speed,,,quick hole shot. no missing...but a rough idle.
is that normal??????? if not, whats the cure??

Again i will ask,,is there a 12v tap on the alternator to charge a battery
I realize this is a really technical question--like duh:confused:

oh yea GOF means grumpy old fart---thats me
