GM 6.0 Litre VVT Engine

I drove for the first time a new boat with GM's new 6.0L VVT ( Varible Valve Timing)
engine. This engine is completely computerized, even the throttle pedal. This engine
came complete with 2 fuel pumps and 2 fuel/water separaters mounted on the engine.
It is set-up to run on 87 octane gas. This is one hard pulling engine. It goes from
2000 RPM to 5300 RPM in about 3 seconds with a 2 blade Maximus set about 2
degrees positive from neutrual. We will set the pitch tomorrow to bring WOT down
to 5000 RPM. That should bring the top speed between 55 to 60 MPH for the 16 ft
X 8 ft Hartline Hull. I will try to post some Pictures.
Thanks, Chuck

Chuck, some how you pasted the location of the pic on your computer, document and settings and so forth. When you put it in the gallery you can right click and "view image" then copy that address from the address bar. or you can use the manage attachments button and browse button when you are are making a post then find the file and upload it. here's the photo.

Hey Papee, I uploaded 5 pictures and started 1 album. It would only let me put 1
picture in the album. Max use for user is 1024 KB. I started another album and it
wouldn't let me install any picture. I don't know what it is. Can you try to load
some pictures and try it. Thanks, Chuck

Hey Lonewolf, I just tried to upload the pictures to the mini site and that don't work either. I think it is something in my computer. I will check all my settings and try to get it working.
Thanks, Chuck
