    My Convincor has a miss.

    So it I should look at the actual amplifier or just check wiring harness and connections? I am pretty handy, but have never dug any dealer than cap/rotor/wires on anything 4 stroke.

    My Convincor has a miss.

    The dealer I talked to said there is a pick up under the rotor. Sounds like you guys are pointing the same direction. I think I will take a look at that tomorrow. I was going to run across Lake Michigan to Chicago over Labor Day weekend, but I really didn't trust it. Didn't want to get 40...

    My Convincor has a miss.

    I just talked to my local Checkmate dealer and they said I don't have a shift interupt on my 454/bravo 1.

    My Convincor has a miss.

    Actually I was talking to someone else that also suggested this. That could definitely be the problem. I guess there is a switch that kills it for a split second when it goes into gear. I can't say I ever noticed it when shifting, but it makes sense. I'm pretty sure it isn't a loose wire...

    My Convincor has a miss.

    I have a '98 253 Convincor with a std carbed 454. I have had the boat for about 5 years and it has always run perfect. This year it developed a weird miss. It did it a couple of times early in the year, but by the end of the year it would do it every 5 to 10 minutes. It only occurs at an...

    Bravo 1 oil capacity

    Anyone know what the capacity is for the Bravo 1? Mine is a 98 if that makes any difference. What lube do you recommend? I have heard good things about the Amsoil and am leaning that direction.

    How much trim???

    boatn70 It sounds like you have the exact same thing as me. I guess I will do some measuring and make some marks on my trim gage.

    How much trim???

    I thought that was a little weird too. I will measure and at the very least mark my trim gauge. The switch is just a single stage switch and it doesn't appear to have ever had anything else. Hmmmm.

    How much trim???

    I have a 98 253 Convicor. It doesn't have a trailer trim switch. The only thing it has is the trim switch on the throttle. My last boat had a separate switch for trailer trim. My question is......how far up do I dare to trim it? I am assuming too much trim isn't the best thing for the...
