FishBones in the house

Nice ride, I guess the HYDRA's are catching on around here. Ditch the VRO and pre-mix the fuel, and run the snot out of her. Also, clean up the zinks on it as I see somebody spray painted em over pretty good when they installed the late model lower unit(the water inlets on that one are like the 01+).

Excellent! Congrats on your new boat. Cool name too.

May you get fish blood on fish bones soon.

Thanks Guys, looking forward to the first run with her after some big flatties.
The ride really impressed me, no slamming in 3 footers we were going in and out of at Cape May inlet, all spray went straight down and to the back even with the head wind we had. Instead of slam if I pushed it over a big wave it sort of just plowed with a little bit of spread out sensation. Nice. Find a decent speed and it just tracked right thru. I have to learn to use those big trim tabs and figure out the best way to run it, the fellow who owned it did not have a clue and basically just put them all the way down or up depending on his mood I guess. The 200 ran right up to 5100 rpms but stayed there, I did not have the sea conditions to play with the trim to see if she would hit 5500 but sure felt like it should. Jumped her up on plane real easy and quick with two guys 3/4 fuel and fresh water tank full.

It is looking like I will be coming down to the Jersey Shin Dig but most likely flying solo or maybe one of my sons as that is the day we are moving into the shore house we rented for a week with the whole family plus my brothers family.

I hear you on the trim tabs!! I just now getting around learning mine and it isn't easy!!
I have been thinking about getting a indicator switch so I can see were they are all the time, but they want as much for the switch as they want for the trim tab set up.

Could not afford you my friend, your into the high roller customer bracket LOL

Hey WILLY, the adjustment for that style BINNACLE should be located behind the lever. Push it all the way forward and there will be a slot there. It may have a rubber plug in it, but behind it will be 1 or 2 screws. They will control the throttle tension of the assembly.

Thanks my friend, enjoyed our conversation. Will check it out tommorow
