I'd like to resurect this post. Yesterday was an unbelieveably nice day in Seattle, so I took my 32' SS out to Lake Washington. As I exited the Montake Cut and into Lake Washington, I powered up the twin 350's up trying to get on plane. The port side engine crapped out somewhere in between the 2600-3000 range - and I never did get the hull on plane. it didn't overheat or sputter - just quit.
So I shut it down and turned tail back to Lake Union. I let it rest for about 10 mintures the it eventually powered back up - with no problems. So my two questions are: 1) What's the target RPM to plane 2) Any Ideas on diagnosing the shut down?
