Trying and testing,



She is in the slip now and i have burned all the old fuel out. Everything seems to be working as planned with only a few minor glitches, the Port trim tab seems to stuggle to extend ? Checking the electrical connections and bled the air from the lines, Still no dice not sure why but its under investigation.at my low speeds above 7mph up to about 15 we had raised the motor to the last set of holes to get full speed depth correct, Now i have this huge area under the motor that splashes the water off the lower unit a low speeds and washes it back inthe the motor well. after some thought we took star board and extended the top of the bracket up as far as we could with out getting in the way of anything. Today May 10th i am thinking we will take it for another ride and see if that fixed the problem there. Does great in the shallows i can trim the engine up level with the bottom of the boat and sneak into some really shallow places. When beached i can have the engine tilted and reverse and it lifts the stern Up and pulls us off the beach with ease. Fuel flow system is still at the repair shop i hope to have it back on in a week and be able to publish some results.More to follow !
