I'm looking for some advice and a manual for a 96 bayliner Jazz. I just got it this weekend and was talking with a friend that in the process of showing me some things caused issues.
The boat is a 120hp. Test drive went great and was quick minus having a hard time to plane. Thats where the fun comes in..
On the trailer at WOT the gate was covering the jet more than I thought it should have. We checked neutral and reverse as well, but my friend went to show me where reverse should be at the gate when it was in neutral. My guess is it pulled the cable loose as now I have very minimal control of the gate (like none). Thinking adjustments were at the control, I pulled that box out.. well tried. The controls appear to not have enough room to get them out of the whole cut in the body. I'm planning on opening up the whole tomorrow and hopeing that fixes that issue. After hours of aggravation I just zip tied the gate open so I could use it but no reverse or neutral.
Now the fun part.. I don't know if somehow trying to mess with the cable tension I screwed up the throttle cable tension, but now the boat only goes for a while then the RPMs drop and eventually just shuts off. I can start it right back up no problem. At WOT it feels lagging in power. Compression test on its way. Any advice would be great as I am a complete newbie.
Thanks
