Make sure the engine(s) are running when trying to move the levers. You can cause damage to the cables and drives if shifting while the engine(s) are off. Just mentioning because you said you were coming from a wake boat (they use transmissions).

Really happy with the turn downs. Can go 20 mph with the trim tabs fully down and still be quiet.

Guys,
Forgive me for the newb question but here it goes...

Are there digital solutions for the drive trim and trim tabs? I'm finding that each engine trim has a speed it's own, same with my trim tabs. I find my self guessing if what i am seeing on the gauges is correct.

Those are corsa exhaust tips and they have built in mufflers. The sound level on those are more than legal. A standard tip with a clamp on muffler is about the same db as those . If sheriff has a problem with your exhaust tell him
to pull out his db meter. Jeff wurl

Drove by the boat yesterday, looks sharp. We have a 330ss on Tonka and I wanted GPS without cutting into the dash. Someday we'll get a nice unit and have it installed but for now I run a Samsung tablet with Navionics maps on it. Put that in an otterbox and it works really well. The Navionics maps are amazing for St Croix, Mississippi, Vermilion, Bayfield, etc. When we do get a GPS unit I will be making sure it has Navionics Maps.



Not the best photo but it does how the tablet and otterbox that we used for GPS last year.

He won't have to tell the sheriff to pull out the meter on Minnetonka. They hate go-fast boats and are going to crack the whip on that boat. The 40mph speed limit (20mph at night) is heavily enforced and so are DB limits.

Do you need to keep a cell signal to the Samsung to keep it working? I'll keep an eye out for you.

True, they hate Go Fast boats, but there are quite a few on the lake. As long as i'm not obnoxious i don't think i will need to worry about them. Sound levels i believe are below the legal limit.

You do not need cell service for the tablet to work. I just have a Wi-Fi tablet, downloaded all the maps and the GPS Works independent. My guess is if you started going out in the ocean or the Great Lakes it wouldn't be sufficient but it maintains position very well on Inland lakes and rivers. If you're at Fletcher's in two to three hours I'll be there in could show you.
