That swim platform isn't helping either. Anyway to extend your tips out to the edge of it?

Not without it looking stupid. THe tips would need to be over 2' long....:lolhit:

Reflash should take care of it.

At idle you can see the gas floating on the water behind the boat. Just WAY to rich.

Actually, the $125 I mentioned is for them to install a bung in a stock (core) riser. Then its a swap deal for your stock riser. I doubt it's on the website - just call Bob.

contact Dustin @ whipple. I think what I am being charged is very fair. Mercury was going to flash mine for free. But I just didnt get a warm fuzzy feeling that I would have it back by Friday.

techman 06-13-2011 09:17 PM

Free from Merc or $569 from Whipple?

What's the secret sauce Dustin is putting in his code??

I hope the delta in price isn't for a quick turn around!

I never said I paid $569.... I have choosen not to post the price I paid as I am unsure if Dustin wants it posted..... It may be a set price or on an individuale case basis. Contact him for pricing. And yes I am paying a premium because Whipple can get it done in a day and shipped back to me by Friday. Merc could not guarantee a quick turn around. Dustin did mention there were a few subitle differences between thier calibration and the one from Merc. But the main reason I went with Whipple is I am in Michigan and we had a terrible spring. Every weekend is valuable with the short summer season we have. So if it costs a bit extra to insure I will have a boat for the weekend. To me $$ well spent.
