I have to give the engines throttle when starting to get water to flow - hence making the engines too rich and having plug problems (merc. specifically states, no throttle until 100 degrees - engine is in "choke" mode. Next step is removing the appx. 12" vertical (that it seems all the T/S's have) that flows from the hose where it connects to this metal "uprise" and then into the strainer. Last thought will be the MM strainers aren't sealing and we'll replace them.
2)putting in an upgraded GPS.
3)installing a set of prop holders (thanks Fred) for my extra set
4)generally, looking for ANYTHING to tinker on to help pass the darn cold winter!!!
5)new springs and checking engine etc... (250 hrs and don't want any problems during the middle of next season).
*But I will give her a run if I can get my hands on a set of lab'd 34's (to see the difference from my non-lab'd 32's).
Yes, currently @ 5300 - but, looking for more mid-range w/out loosing the top.
