Was thinking the same thing.

The Throttle cables go on the furthest back hole on my '97. I would do as Birdog said. He knows his Fountains! :evilb: :drink:

One foreward, one reverse, boat would rotate as when docking.

But if both drives are in forward the reverse rotaion prop will be turning back wards. , Am I thinking right .

I've noticed that my boat planes better with the drive at 3 or 4 than it does with the drive all the way in. The prop starts to ventilate a little, the revs come up, the power comes on, and bam, it's on plane. If i trim it all the way in it just lugs along at 2500 rpm until it drags itself on plane.

it sounds to me like a electrical / safety issue with the motors, I don't think it is wired correctly
