Not bad, I'm sure the bracket helps your speed. How is the scupper/water situation? I had a problem with a lot of water coming in at rest with people in the back. I would plug the drains while fishing.

My 130 trim was the same way. I picked up a fresh water used unit from eBay for cheap. I made sure to spray some protective silicone spray on the new one often. The fluid looks kind of dirty, I'd drain it and replace when you get the new one anyways.
