I followed the procedure in:
http://www.boatfix.com/merc/Servmanl/16/16B4R2.PDF
Which doesn't specify setting it I to base timing mode. I have her running about 650rpm on the dash and the timing sits about 16 degrees but sporadically drops down to 8 which is right where it should be. The engine is responsive in neutral and returns immediately to 650 when I close the throttle. I can't take her out tonight to test but since there's no way I can set it into base timing mode am I right to assume that it's already advancing and where it jumps down is the base timing? The manual doesn't mention anything about it
