That 02 Sunscape 21 LSV I keep annoying you with is being picked up, and delivered, early this morning and late this afternoon, respectively, in MI and GA.

With any luck, the home at which it will reside will be finished in a couple of weeks, and after we've unloaded the trailer and set up our bed (can't do anything without a place to sleep and stuff to cook and eat on), this will be me this summer and into the fall:

But first I have to get my son to find that custom HO ski, built for a Nautique (pardon the expression) rep, and fitted with custom HO XXL (14W gives me a good understanding) full boots, wherever under the miasma in his basement it may be hiding!

Meanwhile, the lacing boot cover to HIS ski's almost-big-enough bindings has been rescued by a cruising buddy who's a sailmaker (we lived and cruised aboard a Morgan 461 sailboat for 15 years) having repaired the broken outer sleeve on one of HIS boots; it's under way to GA from VA, ETA this week.

Color me stoked and a heavy-duty Malibu fan (I just ordered another long-sleeved Tee because my day at the flea market was so stupendously well protected from sun, and earlier, during my sea trial, warm enough that I didn't need a jacket in the 60 degree 20-mph breeze enhanced by my hot start and hard turns testing mentioned elsewhere).

I'm wondering if you'll have to do a base timing set-up also.

Was able to get the boat out of storage. I quickly check the issue.

1.- There is no rudder play by hand at all.

2.- If I go under the steering column and turn the steering (exercise the free play), the steering move but the rod on the opposite end does not move.

So does not seem to be the cable that is giving that slack.  Now does the tilt mecanism is prone to that kind of issue?

I'd put the factory cam back in it.

Engine is speed density. Unless the cam changes are minor it cannot compensate for it.
