Thanks guys,
I am using the same cables. Here's what we did at the house. Without the motor running I spun the prop by hand to see if it engaged in fwd and reverse. It would not engage into reverse so I adjusted it to where it would. It seems like it is adjusted all the way. With the motor running it goes in and out very nice and smooth, I just want to make sure it's engaged all the way, how do you know?

Thanks for the call SKools. I took it out yesterday evening and everything seems to be good to go. Here my numbers (from memory)
WOT (playing with the trim) 5200 rpm @ 42 MPH Cruising : 3500 @ 29 MPH I can't get over how many differences there are with this newer motor, sweet. I can actuallt talk to my passaenger at wot. Idles great. The only thing I noticed that didn't seem quite right was, when I gunned it (from any speed) it seemed to run a little flat for a just a second then caught up to itself. Anyway, good first run

if it's flat check the timing retard under flywheel on control cable side make sure it's still hooked up correctly or that it's moving with the throttle. will get pics for ya tomorrow.

RAP,
Right now I would have to say yes to the OBX hookup. But I'm not kidding, the thought of OI makes me nervous, durring the winter especially.
