Thanx Dan , I appreaciate your advice at the beginning of this . YOu know your stuff !

Ive been fighting with power steering issues.
Can`t get the system bled, I had a bad leak out of a steering cylinder and the new pump I bought wasn`t working .
Ive now spent about 6hrs trying to bleed the system.
Rebuilt the cylinder and new power steering pump arrived today so I guess we will see .

I did take it out but 40 turns from left to right .. I almost hit a dock and then i was going around in a circle , I spent the day trying to fix the steering.
I also have a lean spot in the lower rpms that I need to tune out .

Data log says 2 lbs of boost at 3400rpm getting on plane, Ive always been in vacuum getting on plane cutting a hole thru the water , I felt like these really weren`t breaking loose but not sure .
2lbs at a low rpm I don`t have any of those fuel cells tuned so gotta get that right first
