Wiz,
If you are in heavy seas or running an inlet the water is not level. If
you
boat on a small lake, for the most part the water, is level.

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

Marine distributors do not have vacuum advance.
Is worthless on a boat motor.
Why would that be?

Because water is always level, and the same thickness. There is no
long-term
varying load on a boat motor. Boats cant go "uphill"...or even
"downhill".



Only an inland boater with no experience on big open water would make
such an idiotic claim.

Hold up mate - I'm not sure calling his statement an
"idiotic claim" is warranted (or correct for that matter)
The idea that he is communicating is that water is
the same thickness, prop is always the same pitch,
and the boat is basically always pretty much level
(static friction, weight, etc) so therefore the torque
load on the motor is pretty much static, and always
the same (assuming that you don't break out into
cavitation often). i.e. in "gear-speak", there is
no "coast" - the drive train is always in "drive".
Further, (his downhill statement), the drivetrain never
has to race up, or "catch up" with an already moving
rotational load.



Water is always level....

Hohohohohohehehehehehahahaha.

So what are you saying here? Swells, chop,
yeah, suspose the boat can bob up/down for
a bit, and a few degrees here, and there, but
that doesn't make it non-level (addressing
basic static resistance). Bobing up/down in
a huge wake, swell, etc., even for short burts
doesn't really even change static resistance
(levelness) in my mind, because at thst point
all you are really doing is rolling fore/aft around
the CG point (center of gravity) of the vessel, no ?
