ECU=electronic control unit.

This is the computer that controls the fuel injection and engine spark system on most newer boats made after the mid 90's.

where do i go to find one of these boxes?

i will ask my mechanic the pitch of the 4 blad spinellie prop.

Do you know any mechanics with experience with high performance egines?

the original owner said he had it gps at 85 once, but does 80 mph all day, i had it up to 78mph, it starts to move the back end around alittle at 78mph.

Hopefully this winter while your boat is put up, you'll learn some grammar. Ever heard of proofreading?

not shore aboutde winder shock absorbers? i have full hyr. steering . mine move side to side thats because the boat is out of the water too much. if you look at my video you will see the boat is hardly in the water the drive i think it needs to go higher. 2in shorty. i really do not want to buy one and find that a shorty will not work ??? the 4 blade they say it lifts the back end up. i run a 3blade and take some of the cup out of the prop and it up

I do have the factory 3 blade mirage prop in my shed. I might try it out next summer. The original owner said it is not strong enough forthe out drive,becasue ofthe modifications to the engine. I may go to the adapted hydraclic steering , forright now. The salesmen at omc, said I could keep adding on to the steering, until I have a complete system. Also the one at ocm, is half the price of lathems. Plus the lines are stainless steel, and has a better turning radius, and can be rebuilt for 100$orso. They sell buy bulk, so it is cheaper. I don't runit allday at 80mph plus, so he said a single one adapted on is sufficient.

Just to let you know we have a person who is picky about ourmessage. He commented on my writting. i guesshe is really board.

What does a shorty do? I am new to speed boat industry. But been a boater for 30 years
