Well I've been trying to chase down the miss I have. Only misses at 65-70 MPH and if pulling the boat at 40-50 MPH if I feather the throttle it doesn't seem to happen so maybe dealing with pump or injector issues?

Oh and no check engine light. Checked for codes and don't have any?

unknown at this time.
fyi. there was a tsb on sticking valves in the guide but if many miles on it ignore. get a misfire history to narrow down the cylinders acting up. always available data from the pcm.

OK Sun thanks. Need to get a detailed rundown I guess. Just have a small code reader have to look and see what it does.

As previously stated, most likely the distributor got bumped (loose clamp/bolt) out of timing. I had a random multiple misfire situation about a year ago.... problem was due to a worn distributor gear. I replaced the whole distributor, cap, and rotor setup. Even though I dropped the new distributor in the right place (gear wise), I had to use a professional scan tool (that could read the cam retard) to get the timing straightened out and the CEL to go away for good.
