New to me 1996 3700 open
#5
Great boat and congrats. I have the same boat/engines but a 1998 and have been through or replaced pretty much every system in the past 5 years from turbos and elbows to aftercoolers to fuel tanks.

On the engines, if don’t know when aftercoolers were cleaned, have it done and make sure intake tubes are good.

Key to these engines is they are sensitive to overheating so suggest running at a 2200-2300 cruise. I added EGT gauges and think this is one of the better tools for monitoring temps.

Not sure what props you have but just upgraded mine to 4 blades and was a great improvement.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Ryan
