Re: 1984 28 w/360 WOT?
Sounds like it's under propped. Does it get right up on plane, and at part throttle? If so, an inch or more pitch would deliver more speed and better MPG. If not, you'll have to live with it.

Re: Non-electric chokes not opening.....
..."On 318 automobiles the intake manifold has an exhaust crossover passage that heats the floor of the intake for better atomization of the fuel and it also heats the choke well."
So do the marine 318s/ 360s.

Re: Handling around the dock
The way I teach my USCG Aux boating course students to handle this is with a spring line. To wit: Angle your boat up to the dock (about a 30 degree angle). Grab a piling or cleat and tie the bow to it with the spring line from a bow cleat to the dock LOOSELY attached. Select reverse (using the outer...
