Mike I have been down that road, dont complain to much. Just want to make sure your Mag is safe If that dose not work let me know.

Mike,i had lot of problems with hynatic over the years from what your tauking about to losing it altogether after 40mpi.Had a 22ft streight inbrd. with the eng. infront of the driver and after about 40 you had no steering,after compaining to the co. they sent out a new pump but did not cure it.Finally sold the boat and let sombody else fight with it. When i put Vixen together i put in a new capalono helm and love it,no power just hydralic.The guys used to complain that after the races their arms were tired but i did all the testing and felt safe with it.

Thanks mel.........Hey mel what power valves are you running in your 540 and where is your main jets.....I imagine you have a dominator carb..........Just trying to get everybodys thoughts on tuning for a 540

Mike,yes we do run a dominator on the mech.540 and a 850 on the hydralic eng.Was always a believer in a little lean gave a little more power,but after running into some valve problems on 4 an 6 clyinders went back and set it up according to the merc book.cant say we lost much power but had no more trouble with 4 an 6 cylinders running lean.According to what i wrote down,the power valves were 6.5 and jetting was pri.98an sec.98.This may seem rich but it was a lot safer for the eng.Now that were running her as a pleasure boat i could probably lean it out a little bit but i know this works, so far,so why fool with it.Mick, i think this is somthing you have to play with on your own.Every time i got myself in trouble i went back to the merc book an seen how they did it and usually it came out ok.Sorry i couldnt help you more,but the 540 is a great way to make power but they can make you lose your religion real quick.
