Beautiful so far, thanks bud....did have a small scare on Sunday though.
Ran about 5200 rpms for a fair amount of time and when slowing up to come into docks my alarm sounded and we looked down and the starboard motor was runing wayyyy hot. Shut it off and limped in the few hundred yards to the docks....boat is closed cooled 496's and we hooked up a hose...ran fresh cool water through it and got a bite to eat to give it time.
Ran It out again after though and it was perfect. Not sure if maybe we picked up some sea grass as it was EVERYWHERE that day but we ran it for about an hour out in the gulf after that and it never rose up again.
Hoping to travel down for a FMO run before years end here.

long time ago there was an audio clip floating around OSO of a couple guys running a blown Top Gun out in a rough lake Michigan (i think) and it was all blower whine, on/off throttle then silence and BAM and somebody yelled "now thats a hole" lol made it a ring tone for a while. I lost the clip in a hard drive crash and wish i could find it again.
That would be a good new thread. Post what gets ya through he winter
