Re: Power/Speed issue

changed my spark plugs this year...(twin 454's) boat would only pull 3400 rpm at wide open throttle.(both engines).... one spark plug wire was accidently left off a plug,(on starbord engine)... when found and replaced on the spark plug, the boat ran perfect 4200 rpm at 33 mph...damn Captain Morgans!...
