Well I went out and back and thats a good thing!
Motor runs awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!And you guys were right, the motor idles perfect in the water!!
we headed out, n ot with out problems, I will address at the bottom.
seas light and we make it to the no wake zone and i hit the gas, wow roght up she came and rode great!! but then the seas started rto rise and the ferry traffic, I hit the tabs and bow right down, and what a ride!
you know right away thaqt you not in the V anymore!! she is heavy, but rear heavy with a light nose, she rides solid!! we going over 3 & 4 footers wit ease and not a bang!!
Friend pete says wow this is so nice, I have to get *me one! Then says I guess I won't lose anymore teeth in this boat!
Ok nnow the problems
1. Need Longer bow rope! *You guys would have laughed you a$$ off watching thew clown act!!
2. Shift adjustment, in the yard I hear a small grind when I went in reverse, but the prop spun, but in the water the grind was there and no reverse?
But all I did was put the cables from one motor to the other and thought they be fine?
3. That Bimi top is gone!! way to low, my head hitting it, can't see out the windows they two low.
So I guess I have to go for a hole new enclouser *:'(
4. I have a Tilt & Trim leak, and could not get the motor down with out turning the releaf screw.
5. I might need reproping?? I was hitting 6000 on the tac, buit I am not sure its reading nright?
Its the worse news as it is the center ram, which means I have to get that *big rusted pin out then the nuckle off to replacxe the O ring.
I am going to try to see if the cap is lose?, But I can see the oil leak at the SS center rod.
I was wondering if power steering stop leak, Like Lucas, would stop it or should I not even try a addative??
So thats the list, all and all I am a happy camper!! ;D ;D ;D
Now a few pictures
