Holly cow those look like they are in another ZIP code, LOL. Water test Sunday 
Well. Tech was out sick on friday.. but I was able to “borrow” the G3 laptop and play with it. I put the new adapter on that plugs clean power to the motor. Messed with at the shop for an 1hr friday, then most of saturday…. Only to wake up at 230 and realized I needed to try something else.
Basically, the new adapter was a short 14 pin male/female with a clean harness. Finally put in on the motor and could see the PCM *hours”, but couldnt change the engine location. Despite talking to 2 Techs familiar with G3. I did notice that it couldnt see my Port CCM. So when I woke up this a.m. I wanted to pull the clean power off the port rigging center, since I pulled the STB to plug into the 14pin harness..
Well it WORKED!! Weird, but the rigging center clean power apparently powered the CCM (command control module) so the Port has just the Clean power in the Rigging center and STB will have clean power on rigging center and motor. Oh well. Cranked them both today!!
Missing a harness for the steering pump and an orfice bolt and I’ll be in business!! Then finish cleaning wiring up and rigging hose assembled.

One was welded when I bought it.. Then it got accidentally knocked off pulling out of the shop. All welded back on now.
Have to go get the G3 laptop to recalibrate. When I did it the first time, I didnt have the 2nd clean power for the P motor. So, I calibrated individually. Apparently it didn’t like that, so now Im having issues with the keys. I think I just need to calibrate both at same time.
Steering done, and then if rain holds off.. sea trial!!!

The newer outboards have a “clean power harness” that feed battery power directly to the pcm. They used to run thru the rigging hose and now they are run to a rigging center. But I bought all new harnesses which came out in 23’, so my 21’ motors required a lil adapting!

Well.. after finding a faulty kill switch module. I finally got her in the water!!!
Used the props that came with motors. 23.5p rev 4 XP’s. Apparently these are different than the regular Rev 4s that I was running before. Longer barrel that provide more stern lift and less cup for less bow lift. Boat ran really flat and trim wouldnt bring the bow up. RPMs were around 61-6200, so im close but may need to try some 23p Rev 4s. I have a set of 25p Rev 4s that worked great with the sterndrives, so I may try those just to see if I change the attitude.
Water pressure was good and made a top speed run of…….drum roll please…dum dum dum
77 MPH!! Thats with full fuel (~180 gallons) and 2 guys in boat! Previously only ran best of 68mph light on fuel and just me.
Tried to lift the jack plate, but I was getting a water in fuel alarm. Figured out later, I dont have onboard filters and no sensors.. so bad wire or something. Ordered new fuel filter/water separators with sensors today. Hopefully plugging them in will fix the alarm.
Then I need to take it back out and run it at the 1/2” higher and then keep going to see how slip and handling react!!!
Thinking I can get closer to 80, especially if 1/2 fuel or less and getting Rev 4 props to get bow up.
I have a few sets.
23.5p Rev4 XP too much stern lift and made for stepped hulls
25p Rev 4 Ran great before but will a lil tall for the outboards.
25p Mirages labbed by Bblades. Not a fan of 3 blades, although ran 69 1x!
Probably need 23P Rev 4’s.. Sooo.. I’ll try the 25p Rev 4s to see if I can get the bow up and go from there. If that works.. I’ll just need to swap or get some 23p.
Boat was really stable but rode really flat, but felt pretty good!!
