Not sure what you mean by numbers. The synch is really a "dual" tahc with one indicator. It just tells you htat both engines are operating at same speed so you can eliminate that pulsing sound and feel when they are off by even a few hunderd RPM's.

The water pressure speedo was useless and I get speed from GPA and Radar anyway. THe sync filled in BIG hole in dash and answered some minor operating questions.

I've never had one, just sync them by ear.

I got a B&G Fuel monitor that's electronic and hooks up to the ecu on engines. I'm gonna hook that up this weekend.

Apperently I got the last one.

a couple of people have asked me where I got it-- www.marine.com -- B&G has been bought by SIMRAD and the fuel system (ENGINE NET SYS) is being integrated into the 1000 system they have.

I got the info from the engineers in the plant in Clearwater/St Pete.

Nope - I got the last one today. I did a Google search, and sent over 20 emails to every B&G dealer I could find worldwide. Most said "nope", but one guy on Long Island pulled some strings and got the last one that the factory was holding in Florida in case of a warranty call. Can't wait to get it - the only decent thing that ever came out of salebotes.

your a better man than most because every mechanic said that you cant hear it by you ear and get it close enough.

You can definitely hear when engines are out of sync--and it gets annoying as hell. The vibration it causes can be a problem on long runs. I've also heard it causes some fuel inefficiencies. I needed to fill large hole in dash with something that was a lot more useful than a speedo.
