well, tried to post this 3 times now...
Test ride last week was underwhelming. Made it back to the dock.
Floats like a brick at no wake speeds.
hyd steering seemed very loose.
Took forever to get on plane.
quicksilver 23p props
finally up/down/up on tabs to get up on plane.
starboard motor over 200 on temp so backed things down.
could get back on plane again, just bogged things down,
port drive slipped trying so backed it all down again.
idled back to dock.

So slipping tranny?

Before I call it a slipping TRS I'm going to do some homework on the TRS then warm it up again and check fluid levels. If I can do a pressure test Ill try that too.
