hi folks i have been talking to a car mechanic friend of mine today and we got talking about my outboard, im currently suffering from lack of power and planing ability and also a rough idle...bumble and stumble/shaking
My friend suggested checking the timing as if the timing was slighty out of sync that would cause these symptoms.
In my owners manual it states check timing every 5 years, i bought this boat in jan 2020 and haven't got a clue what the previous owners did as far as maintenance schedule goes
Do you agree with my friend as this is a possible issue and causes of my symptoms
Do you think its worth getting a proper boat mechanic to re-do the timing, and retune carb? is this a big expensive job and how long would it roughly take to do?

Penny for your thoughts people cheers
