    I Think I Might Know What It Is But Wanted To See What Other People Thought. While Im Sitting At Idle The Motor Will Run Smooth Than A Little Rough. It Will Go Back And Forth From Rough To Smooth. Than If I Barely Put A Little Throttle On It Idles Smooth. It A Stock 460 I Think It Might Be Just Some Adjusting On The Carb But What Does Everybody Else Think.

    exactly. next time we get out on the water I'll set it for you. the reason it sounds rough is when the exhaust goes under water you notice it more.
