You may have to take it out of the boat depending on the room in the boat.

It's electrical, or a balancer.
Or it is a really fu(ked up carburator.

He says the timing was off 24 degrees. Can you elaborate more on this? Are you talking total timing? Is your advance locked out? What ignition systems are you running?
Im guessing you are saying that the total timing was off 24 degrees. If thats the case, you could have a bad module, centrifugal advance, etc.
I think what you are going to need to do is start with the basic steps.
Rotate your motor until #1 is at top dead center.
See where your timing mark on the balancer is relative to the timing tab on the timing cover. it should be close.
Pull the distributor cap, and make sure the rotor is pointing to the #1 plug wire on the cap.
If all that checks ok, start the engine, and set the base timing. Some balancers have a second notch or mark around 30 degrees. Be sure you are setting your base timing using the correct mark on the balancer. You may think your setting say 10 degrees, but really setting 40 degrees base timing if your on the wrong mark. You may not have this extra mark, if not, then disregard.
Once you get your base timing set, then you need to see if the module or centrifugal system is working. Depending on what module or springs you have, you will have to raise the rpm to say 3000+ and see if its advancing.
Not trying to be a dik, but please be more detailed on whats going on so some of us can try to help you. Your replies are kind of vague and tough to understand what you are getting at in your replies.
