Re: Electrical problem solved
 

I hate to point out the obvious, but 300 pounds of batteries isn't helping with the speed.

Speed and spray
 

Thanks to Formulafastech and Cuda for the responses. I am sure now after your answer Formulafastech that the spray is quite normal, although I wonder why it seems to only be coming out of driver's side exhaust and not both sides. Cuda--ironically, the speed has increased since the installation of the batteries, but it probably relates to burning off lbs of gasoline. I just keep thinking there is something fundamentally wrong with the setup somewhere since I am using a 19 inch pitch prop and WOT is 4800 whereas others here are using up to 29 (I think). I am wondering if there is some way to verify the gear ratio since Formulafastech first raised that issue. Here is theMercruiser prop selector I used to arrive at the REV 4 prop I just installed.
