I replaced my mixing elbow this year and my motoring perfromance has improved significantly.

It was clogged with rust pretty badly. The engine sounds noticeably better revs higher and the boat motors much better.

I can now motor at about 6 knots at 2800 rpm. I have pushed it to 6.3 in flat water and about 3000 rpm but I do get some uncomfortable vibration.

I think the next step is to go through the process of aligning my engine. That seems to be the next logical step.
