The timing for a 305 MerCruiser engine (typically found in marine applications) is generally set at 8 degrees before top dead center (BTDC) at idle, though this can vary slightly depending on the specific model and year. It's important to consult the owner's manual or service manual for your particular engine model for the exact specifications. Always ensure the engine is at normal operating temperature and that the timing light is used correctly when making adjustments. Proper timing is crucial for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
