Thanks. Just a note on a few maintenance items. The seacocks were mostly shot. Ball would not close all the way in one and the other had no ball. May want to check yours. These were orinial buck a. seacocks.

The prop was only giving us 3815 rpm. We had it tuned and it now measures 19x16 and we got 3900 today.

Splashed and ready.

3815 was with the tower. When I brought it to the shop it measured 19x 17. He pulled an inch of pitch out and now we get 3900. Runs silky smooth as well.

Looks great, nice to be different, looks "purposeful". Was that rpm via a handheld photo-tach or your in-dash tach? The Yanmar OEM tach that comes with the modular B,C or D type cluster reads high. The Beede is pretty good.

Got the call today,marina got me in two days early! She is splashed as of 5pm. They found an issue with an auto switch (PO had made all connections with household wire nuts) since I won't be there for 48hrs and with possible rain tomorrow they are gonna go ahead test the float switch and R&R whatever is bad!

Nice. We stuck out on the tuna but the boat ran good. We did around 75 miles.

Sorry to hear about the tuna. Hope the tog are more cooperative this weekend. Lol

Glad to hear the boat is running well, you have upper controls setup? How is it to run up there?
