We did loosen up the controls...snapped off 2 of the 4 allen screws holding the binnacle cover. Lubed the linkage at the motors. Smoother and easier to push and shift.

Suppose we could run with cover off and try to work throttle from there, if we get to 5k then linkage needs adjusting?

Bought a Seloc manual on eBay $25...great if work on every motor from 2 hp to 250 and you already know what you are doing. Should have bought a Yamaha manual for SX225/LX225...$90 from Yamaha.

I think the prop is definitely a contributing factor, I can see a difference..

Funny thing, if I read fuel meters separately, the stbd motor actually burns a hair less fuel when they are both running at 4200
